It consists of two buildings, one that contains a two-bedroom ground-floor apartment and one that is a two-storey building with a mix of living spaces and bedrooms, as it was once a guest house. This leaves a livingroom and en-suite bedroom on the ground floor and a kitchen, livingroom and four bedrooms on the first floor.
