15 years in the making (designed and built by the writer/artist owner), the romantic exterior is complimented by neo-classic and ornate interiors, with detailed gilded carvings and carved panelling. Ambience of a bygone age is further reflected by works of art and antiques.

Stairs from the main hallway lead into a small foyer containing an IT station, sink, and a door leading into a utility room. An archway leads into a round cellar wine bar featuring bespoke, carved centre table and seating for 12, subdued lighting, and a music system. With circular wine racks holding up to 1,000 bottles of local and regional wine, the cellar provides the perfect retreat for conversing, relaxing, or simply sampling the local vintage.
