There are two bathrooms in total, brilliantly providing each bedroom with their own, and the main bathroom itself has been beautifully finished in a contemporary resort-style. Outside in the level backyard of established plantings, the self-contained one bedroom flat is absolutely divine with it's own gate and rustic stone patio which can easily be divided from the main house if needed. Inside there is a main entrance with a study, a large kitchenette and open-plan living room, a great bedroom and a modern bathroom, all providing various usage options such as an artist's studio, guest accommodation, day spa or a great home office.
