A large open plan living zone is illuminated by a wall of windows framing a delightful brick paved alfresco overlooking fragrant gardens. A quality wood kitchen, truly designed to be the heart of the family home, with Ilve cooking, dishwasher, extensive storage and stone benches. Two ground floor bedrooms each with period details, are served by a central renovated bathroom with walk in shower and an additional guest powder room.
