kexkez said...: Love the look of those round aircon vents. and like Annie I like the conservatory. that really makes a nice change from the flatness of many 2 storey houses I've seen. Looks like it will be a lovely place to sit and enjoy your yard.; 30 July 2009 at 9:13 am
John,Tarin and The Kids said...: Thanks gals.
Yes its a wonderful home :D and we cant wait to be in there; 30 July 2009 at 5:31 pm
Unknown said...: Wow, the house looks amazing. You won't know what to do with yourselves in such a huge house, after being in a rental for over 12 months.

The kids are going to just love all being able to have their own room and space. This will be an fantastic house for your large family to grow up in...

Good luck with the move.
