Visitors arrive at the property via a sweeping driveway flanked by privet and box hedges, past century old trees and colourful garden beds. The elegant homestead has a high slate roof and a shaded wraparound verandah.

An impressive passageway with Baltic pine floorboards and a stained glass archway leads to the beautifully decorated and furnished guest sittingroom, dining room, bedrooms and a gallery overlooking the central paved courtyard which is bordered with prolific iceberg roses.

A sumptuous breakfast is served in the traditional dining room.
