HOUSES AT 1,2 & 3 EXFORD CLOSE - Physical Description 1
VISUAL DESCRIPTION: No.2 Exford Close is almost totally obscured by a luxuriant bush garden, with brick-paved paths. No.3 has fawn brick walls with dark stained timber. The old triple-fronted plan is reworked, to cleverly achieve separate courtyard spaces for each living room, with a side entry. Deep eaves, pergolas and a brick wing walls are other characteristics. The landscaped garden is native bush inspired.
