Situated high above the Shore Road with magnificent open aspects from its front facing apartments, this extensively upgraded and handsome Detached Villa dates back to the mid 1800s and displays all the charm and grace of a traditional stone constructed period villa contrasting with the current vendors own flair and spice which is displayed through bold and fashionable decoration curated and carried out by the vendors. Tighan Daraich is an extremely bright house with large windows and much natural light throughout and enviable south facing aspects.
