The dining area flows effortlessly into the living area which features a stacked stone wall with gas log fire as its centrepiece, framed by large picture windows capturing the spectacular surrounds. Glass sliders lead from the living to an expansive balcony which offers dining and lounging zones, providing the perfect space to relax or entertain whilst taking in the ever changing scenery by day or night.
