“The home is lovely and cool in summer and beautiful and cosy in winter, and a great entertainer. The living room opens to a return veranda, which is perfect for hosting guests.
“It overlooks the pool out the front, and that’s really the hub of the home.
“We’ve had lots of parties here.”

Ms Townsend has run an external cottage as a successful Airbnb and says the home – which has a 38-panel solar system and a Tesla Powerwall – could easily be rented out as a single bedroom cottage, a two-bedroom lower level apartment, and the rest as a three-bedroom house.
