Upstairs, a wooden staircase with wrought-iron balustrade leads to four large, north-facing en-suite bedrooms, all opening onto balconies. A separate study completes the accommodation. The main bedroom suite deserves special mention, featuring air-conditioning, a generous private balcony overlooking the garden and pool, and a luxurious full bathroom with freestanding bath and shower. Sliding glass-pane wooden doors create an elegant separation between bedroom and bathroom. Additional features include double automated garaging, ample visitor parking, and two separate cottages with their own access and parking currently tenanted, offering both added security and flexibility.
