Do you need to escape from Sydney from time to time? Koorooma is a country-style four-bedroom home that would make a great retreat, or a quiet home base, in a leafy part of the Sutherland Shire.

Inside, the walls and floors are timber and the kitchen is a country classic, complete with timber cupboards, large adjacent eating area, skylight and plenty of storage.

The combined dining/family areas are also all timber, and open to a magnificent wrap-around balcony.

All the bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and the main bedroom has an ensuite with spa bath.

The house has a study and large rumpus room (with bar facilities). There are also a triple garage and a small workshop area.

The house is on a large, mostly flat block and there is plenty of room to extend. There are shops and a bus stop within walking distance.
