We will point out the features we found interesting in each room!Entrance to the PropertyWe enter the property by car via a gravel driveway that runs alongside two recently constructed wooden storage buildings.The land gently slopes down into the woodland. Through the branches, we catch glimpses of a spectacular view over the valley, which gradually opens up as we approach the poolside and the house.On the upper garden level, an entrance directly to the street and the house.The main front door opens into a stylish entrance hall featuring a cloakroom area and a downstairs Wc, with a designated space for coats. Notice the arched catalan terra-cotta ceiling tiles a distinctive feature of this property and an extremely rare one. The elegant black marble floor tiles, combined with the warm, rusty colour of the terra-cotta ceiling, set the tone for what is clearly an elegant home with a designer's touch.The sitting roomTo the left of the entrance hall is a small sitting room featuring a television, a contemporary concrete cube fireplace, and an enormous natural rock that protrudes from the wall a reminder that this property has been carved into the hillside. We love this feature, as its timeless quality contrasts beautifully with the otherwise contemporary feel of the room.The laundry room / boiler roomSituated on the opposite side of the sitting room and accessible via a door to the front garden, this spacious area includes the boiler, a sink, a washing machine, a dryer, and a downstairs WC.The library / main reception roomWe adore this space. Fitted with bookshelves all around, it includes an architect-style desk under the window, a ladder for the books, and windows on both sides.The reception area features an open fireplace, making it a wonderful place to work and relax. It exudes the ambiance of a Parisian or New York apartment.In the winter, should one wish to use only a small part of the property, the ground-floor ensuite master bedroom at the far end of this room allows for a cozy apartment-style living arrangement between this area and the downstairs kitchen.The master bedroom & ensuiteSituated at the far end of the main library/ reception room, this generously sized bedroom has a vast ensuite dressing and shower room.With the doors flung open onto the sitting room, it is we imagine falling asleep by the fire, book in hand, and the invitation of a lovely big double bed just next door. The property has been designed with all the comforts of a modern home.Of note : the internal wooden shutters (easy to close at night!) with their tiny perforated holes which allow the light to dance like constellations over the wooden panels.This completes our tour of the front section of the property.We now descend a couple of steps into the rear section of the hallway, leading down to the kitchen.The Kitchen & Dining RoomThe kitchen and d
