Following up a few stairs to the left you enter the spacious open plan living and dining area with the kitchen. This room is bright and naturally lit with sunlight beaming through the large windows and balcony doors which has views of Exoghi village.

The high ceiling with traditional, exposed wooden beams provide depth and a sense of openness. Along with the open plan kitchen this room also features a wood burning stove which will heat the house in the winter months and air conditioning and a ceiling fan for the summer months.

Leading from the living room are two bedrooms, one double and one twin. The bedrooms mirror one another and provide a relaxed and quaint atmosphere.

Leading from this bedroom is another smaller space currently used as a storage and workshop with a separate entrance from outside.
