Ascending the beautifully engineered cantilevered stairs, you arrive at the first floor, where skylights enhance the sense of space and light. A mezzanine-style principal bedroom offers elevated views of the surrounding countryside, a peaceful retreat complete with an ensuite bathroom and ample built-in wardrobe space. A third double bedroom and a full bathroom with a modern three-piece suite complete the upstairs accommodation.
The property sits on 0.6 acres of tastefully landscaped grounds. Meandering granite-paved paths take you to a private outdoor dining area complete with a fire pit, perfect for peaceful evenings spent with family and friends enjoying the tranquil riverside and woodland views.
