Outside the lounge room there is a large entertaining deck overlooking the creek which would be perfect for those days entertaining family and friends. The double garage has direct access to the house at the kitchen end.

A second 3 bedroom sandstone block residence, located close to the Bellinger River, is currently tenanted and would suit either an AirBnB or for the kids when they visit.
