It is 3km from Blackheath, the Megalong Valley and bush walks within the National Park. The open plan kitchen (with new Falcon induction stove) joins onto the spacious dining room surrounded by french doors that open up to a verandah running around the house. Breathtaking views of the garden and the Megalong Valley are within sight to admire whilst you cook and eat. The living room includes a flat screen TV, Blu-Ray DVD player and an open log fire, which opens out through french doors to a courtyard garden. The main garden has plenty of space for children to play and a swing and tyre on rope next to the tennis court.
