On offer upstairs are four surprisingly spacious bedrooms, all of which present built-in wardrobes and easy access to the upstairs bathroom which offers a shower, toilet and vanity and takes full advantage of Mountain views.
The ground level incorporates a study and rumpus room, along with a third bathroom and would serve as the ideal teenage retreat or Air B&B with the added convenience of external access and a large workable laundry with plenty of storage space.
