Large modern home in semi-rural setting on 1.8 Hectares (4 1/2 acres), largely landscaped with trees, lawn, daffodils and roses. Only 8 kilometers from city centre and about 10 minutes travel time. Close to all facilities.
The house is located in a semi-rural area with surrounding properties all of about 2 hectares in size. The house is surrounded by mainly deciduous trees and lawn with thousands of daffodil and other bulbs, which will be in bloom over the period of house-sitting.
The house has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with one spa bath. There is a modern kitchen with European appliances and a full range of quality cooking equipment. There are three heat pumps and a wood heater to provide warmth or cooling. An outside pool has a change-room with two showers and the dogs are washed under one of these showers.
Our larger dog has an outdoor kennel, while the Westie sleeps in a corner on her own bedding in the main living room. They are easy care, friendly dogs and great company.




Outside is a 13 metre in-ground concrete pool.
There is a range of exercise equipment including an exercise bike, rowing machine and treadmill.
A conservatory area next to the Living Room provides a semi-outdoor relaxing area and is adjacent to a gas BBQ.
The neighbours are very friendly and also love travelling and are great company. They know all the major places to visit.
