A large covered veranda with mosquito netting forms an extra living and dining room. It leads into a modern kitchen with quality appliances, an island and a breakfast bar. The living and dining room has a pellet-burning fire and opens onto a second netted veranda. This overlooks a walled pool area with a heated 10 m x 5 m pool, bar, barbecue and jacuzzi. The four double bedrooms include two with en-suite shower rooms, and the main bathroom has twin sinks and a separate bath and shower. Double glazing, a water softener and filtration system, mains and solar electricity, and a 10,000-litre water deposit complete the picture.
