The floor is finished with a herringbone pattern PVC flooring complemented by high white skirting boards. The walls and ceilings have been smoothly plastered, and new internal doors have been installed in wooden frames.

The garden lighting can be controlled via a remote switch, making it equally appealing during evening hours. The southeast orientation provides ideal sun exposure throughout the day.
