'Sherwood' b.1935 is an irreplaceable full brick on sandstone bungalow locally renowned for its much treasured prize winning gardens previously open to the public as part of Australia's Open Garden Scheme. Elevated on a generous approx. 1,056sqm with access via the Kyong Street cul-de-sac, this remarkable residence is a show-case of timeless architectural elegance including a perfectly matched double storey addition at the rear which overlooks a north facing level lawn privately screened by greenery.
