There’s also a large stone patio area with plenty of space to dine al fresco, or you could head across to the block built summer house, where there’s a built-in BBQ and seating area. Spacious lawns to the rear and side of the property are sure to be enjoyed by younger members of the family, while mature trees add a sense of privacy.

On the ground floor, a teak wood door opens to the tiled split level entrance hall. The L-shaped kitchen, dining room and sitting room is to the right, where double doors and large windows flood the space with natural light and provide picturesque views of the garden.

A feature window in the lounge overlooks the gardens, summer house, river and the mountains, making for the perfect backdrop to unwind.
