The first floor is entirely occupied by the spectacular principal bedroom suite. This includes a bedroom, a pair of bathrooms, and a well-proportioned dressing room. The second floor contains three more bedrooms, one of them ensuite and with the other two bedrooms sharing a bathroom next door. This floor also features air conditioning and considerable storage space.

The whole property is decorated in a sophisticated style. The interiors blend a sense of traditional grandeur with modern convenience.

The paved west-facing garden receives the afternoon light. This is a secluded space with enough room for outdoor dining. There is also a ground floor balcony with a staircase leading down into the garden.
