This expansive space exudes sophistication, enhanced by tasteful decor and centred around a magnificent marble fireplace that adds character and warmth. Flowing seamlessly from the dining area is a generously proportioned lounge, bathed in natural light thanks to large windows and strategically placed wall mirrors, creating a bright and airy ambiance.

High-end integrated appliances include an electric oven, induction hob with extractor, and a stainless-steel sink. A charming composite stable door provides convenient access to the garden.
