The owners of this property have certainly stamped their mark on this property in the 10 months they have owned it. Some urgent reroofing and installation of insulation has definitely enhanced the original part of the home. They have also carried out painting work, installed a new pressure pump for the home, erected a metal fence for pet security, etc and had a general tidy up around the farmlet including fencing maintenance and shelter belt trimming. All these improvements have made a huge difference to the enhancement and value of the property.
