The ground floor has a magnificent hall divided into three separate spaces plus three bedrooms with en suite bathrooms.
The property also includes four bungalows, each with living room with rustic kitchen, and two with double bedrooms and a bathroom. A third habitable zone contains a living room with kitchen and a double bedroom.
