If you are looking to swap a hectic lifestyle in the CBD for peace and tranquility and perhaps the opportunity and interest of supplementing your income, then 'Swallowfields', a property with acreage on the outskirts of picturesque Richmond Village, is for you. Testament to happy times, the owners have enjoyed 45 years here!
A pair of tall Poplars at the entrance splendid with autumn colour provides a lovely approach for the avenue, a sealed driveway which leads to the main entrance. Constructed over two storeys in the Cape Cod style with dormer windows on two sides conjures an air of romance! Exposed beams feature in a choice of living areas. Sunshine streams into the house courtesy of the north-easterly orientation. Pretty hillside vistas are apparent from every aspect.
