An original stone staircase leads down to the lower floor and into the dual aspect dining room with original Georgian panelling and a large open fireplace, this room leads directly out through patio doors to the professionally landscaped, Mediterranean style terrace garden. Mature planting and various seating areas provide an idyllic spot for outside entertaining with uninterrupted views down to the sea.

Also on this floor is a separate utility room with a w/c and a walk in cold store, perfect for wine storage.
