DESCRIPTION

Internally, the accommodation of approx. 308 sq.m. has been cleverly configured and elegantly proportioned to maximise the benefit of the aspect, with most rooms being flooded with natural light and enjoying spectacular views of the sea, ensuring that a tranquil atmosphere pervades throughout this airy and welcoming home. Accommodation comprises 5 bedrooms (with three en suite), 5 baths (incl. en suites), open plan kitchen/dining room, two office/studies, two reception rooms, reading gallery and guest kitchen/breakfast room.
