Another large versatile room with an ensuite downstairs could be your fourth bedroom for guests/teens, a home office or yet another living space away from the main household. \nEntertaining is fabulous in summer. Doors from the well-designed timber kitchen and a sitting area open across a private sunny deck for alfresco dining.
