8/10 Good
"Offering a break from the 'minimalist' trend of interior design, this home offers a visual cornucopia to the eye with lots to look at, both old and new. Shelves and walls are covered with items that evoke memories for the older generation and fascination for others. Plenty of games for the wet days and a wonderful deck and backyard for summer days."
