A much-loved family home for over half a century, it is constructed of stone with rendered elevations beneath a modern tiled roof. The house has been sympathetically renovated over the years and includes a cellar, providing more than 4,000 sq. ft. of living space, along with a double garage and workshop.
The entrance is marked by a handsome front door, adorned with an elegant stained-glass window, which opens into a welcoming reception hall.
