HISTORY The house was originally built as a large residence surrounded by gardens, orchards, and fields that now form part of the Peace Road development. Over the years, the property was split into two family homes, and due to the way, the other properties and roads were constructed, its imposing façade can now be viewed from the large established garden, overlooking the peaceful and relaxing gardens and wildlife from the lounge. This backs on to what used to be known as King Coel's Kitchen, an amphitheatre during Roman times that was revived during the Victorian era as an Opera House. It is, in essence, a hidden jewel, and the house is now back to front.
