A bespoke deVOL kitchen with a Silestone worktop, Fisher & Paykel French door fridge, dishwasher drawers, wine fridge, and a 120cm Smeg range cooker provides a modern twist.
The villa's first floor houses four additional bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the principal bedroom featuring an en-suite bathroom with marble mosaic floor tiles and a dressing room.
