                                            The two double bedrooms are spacious with
                                            fitted  wardrobes  and  the  main  bedroom
                                            has an en suite shower room and a Juliet
                                            balcony. The property is completed by a
                                            contemporary family bathroom with an

                                            is the ideal space to enjoy an alfresco drink
