The main house of approximately 80 m² features wooden ceilings, an open-plan living area with kitchen and dining space, two bedrooms, and a spacious bathroom with shower and bathtub. A renovated 22 m² guesthouse offers a cosy living area, bathroom, and a wooden mezzanine, while an additional 30 m² stone outbuilding currently used for storage presents clear potential for conversion into further accommodation or workspace.
