Two of the bedrooms enjoy access to a south-facing balcony with views. On the ground floor, there is a self-contained one bedroom apartment, which can be reached either via the internal stairwell and external porch, or by its own private outdoor access. The apartment comprises an entrance hall, an open-plan kitchen and living room, a double bedroom, a bathroom and a WC. This apartment could be kept as a separate dwelling for holiday rentals or visiting friends and family, or alternatively could be re-incorporated into the main house. Completing the ground floor is a boiler room and a large cellar. Outside, the garden allows plenty of space around the property to enjoy the views and sunshine. The total land area is around 1400m2, and is in a constructible zone, giving potential for further development.
