Ground Floor:
Stepping in this majestic home you’re met by a large dining area with a cozy raised fireplace, stone wall detailing and a classic beamed ceiling. From here you access the kitchen, featuring a wooden ceiling and more timeless stone walls.
The kitchen leads you to the lounge area, which welcomes you with a large stone fireplace and the same classic style as the rest of the house. On this floor you also find a bathroom, an outdoor wood oven for pizza nights and a gorgeous stone portico with breathtaking panoramic views.
First Floor:
Going upstairs you step into the attic. It features two rooms, one of which could potentially be used as an additional bedroom and the other one for storage.
Underground Floor:
