• Five bedrooms, (three en-suite) ranged over two floors, all with large double beds. 
• The central main 'Salon' (living room) is large enough for dancing, and hosting large parties. With a wood fire in the Salon and central heating this house never gets cold.
  Large roof terrace on the 2nd floor with Cedar wood hot tub large enough for ten people, pagoda, tables and chairs, and a barbecue cooker for those Al fresco moments.
