Their elegant proportions and architectural confidence remain a defining feature of the area today. Stone steps and glossy railings lead up to the gracefully curved faade of the main house.

Emerald wall tiles catch the light beautifully, complemented by warm brushed-gold fittings and soft, ambient lighting, creating a spa-like retreat that feels both indulgent and serene. Four further double bedrooms are arranged across the second and third floors, all quietly positioned to the rear of the house and enjoying a westerly aspect that allows warm afternoon and evening light to fill each room.
