What was once a ruin is now a light-filled residence that honours the spirit of its past while embracing modern comfort. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered: bespoke Gothic-style windows and doors, hand-crafted staircases, and exposed stone walls sit harmoniously alongside energy-efficient glazing, sleek bathrooms, and a modern kitchen. The result is a rare find – a home that tells a story, yet feels entirely fresh and ready for its next chapter.
