Sustainability is a trend throughout the property; a 5000L rainwater tank services the garden, solar panels feed the underfloor heating and hot water, and LED illumination has been installed. All of this helps to keep running costs to a minimum.

The property is situated in a cul-de-sac off a no-through road; therefore, traffic is relatively minimal. The gardens are private and peaceful and have been well-maintained by the current owner. They consist of a mixture of laid lawn, mature shrubs and a variety of trees; there is also a garden shed, ideal for storing large items such as lawnmowers and garden furniture. To the rear of the garden is a paddock, which has a footpath running through it. In total, the gardens at the property extend to approximately 1 acre.
