THIS is a rare opportunity to own your own manor home plus fully self-contained apartment on a 1191sq m landholding near the river.
The property has a long history, originally bought and built on by the owner’s parents in the 1960s and then passed down to the owners in 1984 who, with architect Timothy Morley, created this spacious family home and apartment for themselves, three children and a senior family member.
“When we built the house, internally it was in a modern ’80s style and so in 2009, we updated the home including moving and updating the kitchen to the west side with Miele appliances and finishes such as Caesarstone benches, soft-close draws and glass splashbacks,” they said.
