The house, which is set over four floors, is connected to mains water and electricity and has a courtyard garden.

The property would suit a conversion into a bed and breakfast establishment due to it's size and location. The property has wooden framed windows and doors with some internal shutters.

The property has a large (500 square metre) courtyard garden, which is totally private. This walled garden can be accessed either from the house or view two separate vehicle gate ways. Both of these gate ways have carved stone lintels.

The garden is overgrown and does require attention, however it is secluded and is possible to utilise the space for parking as well. The property does require renovation and restoration work, though there are some stunning features intact including hand painted 'landscape' murals within several of the rooms. The property briefly comprises:

Ground Floor: The ground floor of the property has served several purposes in the past, both as a house and a shop and thus there are still two entrances to the front.

At the rear of this room there is an office, which also has a wooden floor. There are also storage rooms to this floor, which can be accessed from either the 'shop' or the courtyard garden, as can a partially tiled bathroom.
