The ground floor leads out to a private patio with vibrant, colourful planting and ambient lighting, perfect for al fresco dining or entertaining friends.

The second drawing room opens onto a terrace, with a seating area and further lush planting.
The guest bedroom suites are located on the upper three floors, each offering sophisticated style. The second floor has three bedrooms, two of which have en suite bathrooms, with a further guest suite on the top floor.

This floor also provides an entertainment complex with state-of-the-art amenities, including a swimming pool, with a mirror-panelled wall and lightwell bouncing light into the space.
