To the front of the house is the fitted kitchen which has been renovated and tastefully decorated, a separate laundry room can be found next to here. On the west side of the house is a ground floor bedroom and large bathroom with a roll-top bath.The impressive stone staircase leads up to the first floor which offers six further bedrooms, all of very good sizes with double or twin beds. The master suite includes a large bathroom and bathtub with a view over the gardens below. Nearly all bedrooms have their own private shower room and all are fitted with reversible air-conditioning. The attic above has been well insulated allowing for comfortable year-round living. The cellar / garden level offers further living space and a wonderful entertainment area. Currently used as a games area with a full size pool table and table tennis, this is the perfect place to retreat to on hot summer days!

There are original girondine tiles throughout and the stone work has been beautifully renovated. Outside, a grand stone double-staircase leads to the large terrace that is elevated over the charming gardens below. The land gently slopes down from here allowing views over the many mature fruit trees and the valleys beyond.
