(This is the furnished version of my Stony Lake Starter - no difference except the furniture and the price) The unfurnished starter house is here:

Welcome to Stony Lake, sheltered by willows and dotted with lillies and reeds. The temperature is perfect for swimming, with a purpose-built platform for diving, and a pleasant residence for the evenings.

Bring that special someone for a quiet weekend getaway, or retreat from civilization for a family break by the lake.

The residence is cosy and rustic, from its stone footings to the pitched roofline. Above the foundations, the house is panelled with wood, in need of painting but sound. Tall paned windows add distinction, and luxuriant roses bloom around the entry.

From the sheltered porch, visitors enter the lounge. This light-filled room offers views of the water, with a wide archway leading to the tiled dine-in kitchen. French doors from the country-style kitchen open onto a stone patio, perfect for al fresco dining or entertaining. Steps from the patio access the swimming platform.

Tucked behind the kitchen is a full bathroom, made by converting the old laundry and downstairs toilet into one space.

A staircase in one corner of the loungeroom leads upwards, to where the residents can restore their energies. The master bedroom is comfortable, with space for wardrobes or nursery furniture. There is also private access to the bathroom at the head of the stairs. Two single bedrooms also open off the landing. These rooms are small, but feature interesting nooks and country views.



The grey exterior of the house is relieved inside with red carpets and refreshing light paintwork.
