The ground floor has a contemporary, fully equipped kitchen opening onto one of two dining terraces, a utility room, and an open-plan living and dining area with a double-height ceiling and exposed stone walls. Three bedrooms, including one ensuite, and a family bathroom complete the ground floor, while a mezzanine living area upstairs leads to two further bedrooms and another family bathroom.
