This century-old structure, lovingly restored, invites you into a world of understated elegance and natural charm. while preserving its rich cultural heritage.
The ground floor, a peaceful retreat, features two ensuite bedrooms, each offering a private haven for relaxation.

A games table, complete with a selection of board games and cards, provides a touch of lighthearted entertainment.
The triple-height living space, bathed in soft natural light from its expansive windows, is a testament to the home’s original character. Massive wooden beams, a relic of its past, preside over the open-plan layout, creating a sense of grandeur and spaciousness.
