There are two principal reception rooms in the apartment. One of them is the original library to the former mansion.

There are two further double bedrooms, both beautifully presented and with lovely outlooks. Servicing these two rooms is the family bathroom with separate bath and shower units.

The feeling of seclusion due to the private grounds is wonderful and very surprising given the proximity to the city centre.
