The expansive layout showcases impressively high ceilings, decorative cornice, ornate ceiling roses and grilles, rich timber panelling and solid timber doors, exposed brickwork, stunning bevelled glass bi-folding doors, a plethora of full-height multi-paned windows and a host of high-end finishes all combining to create a mesmerising dwelling you'll be proud to call home.
