The ground floor showcases an open plan traditional kitchen-dining room, thoughtfully designed to cater to the demands of modern living while retaining the character and charm of the property's heritage.

The principal suite, a true sanctuary, boasts panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, inviting the beauty of nature to seamlessly blend with the interior space. A well-appointed bathroom, finished to the highest standards, provides a touch of luxury and convenience for the entire household.
