The main house has no shortage of reception rooms with gleaming wooden floors throughout. An informal pub leads out to a braai area with beautiful garden views, and adjoins a second cosy TV lounge sharing a back-to-back fireplace. Down the hallway is a large dining room which leads to a spacious lounge and generous alcove ideally suited for a study. Both the lounge and dining room open onto an extensive covered patio overlooking the garden. The adjoining second enclosed veranda is perfectly suited as a games room.
Off the grand entrance hall is a cloak room and guest toilet as well as entrance to the downstairs basement or perfect wine cellar.
