The Farmhouse
The house offers approx. 500 sqm of floor-space consisting of 7 double bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The original lay-out has been modified by the current owners to create two separate living areas each with kitchen and independent entrance, to meet their requirements as an extended family. The property however remains connected internally and all areas may be accessed without going outside. The interiors of the property have been finished to a high level of quality which is apparent throughout. Blending more modern materials such as parquet flooring with more traditional materials such as stone antique fireplaces give the property an authentic yet contemporary feel. Both kitchens were custom made and fitted and some of the bathrooms feature marble his/her sinks and shower basins. The ground floor of the main farmhouse has multiple access points which also create a lot of natural light inside.
