A conservatory/sun-room runs along the length of the south-facing façade of the residence attracting an abundance of sunlight and providing a fabulous lounge area to enjoy the views and warmth of the sun. From here, the main lobby greets you with its grand features such as exposed timber roof beams and sunlight window. Off the lobby is the cosy reading room or home office with south-facing windows and solid-fuel stove.
