It features a beautiful, coved ceiling. A marble sill has been added to the wide window ledge; in fact, throughout the house, all window ledges have been given this treatment. A beautiful fireplace completes the cosy feel.

To the right of the entrance hall, again through double glass doors, is a beautiful open plan lounge and dining area (approximately 60m2). This room has been remodelled to accommodate modern living whilst retaining the character and grandeur of the house.
