The ambience throughout this open, light-filled home is enhanced by the high ceilings, ornate cornices, ceiling roses, lead-lighting and comfortable neutral décor.

The two separate living areas are at either end of the house and the rear family room opens onto the courtyard and garden.

Of the 3 bedrooms, two are en-suite and all have built-in floor-to-ceiling wardrobes. The main bedroom offers views to the rear garden.
