Charming townhouse of recent construction tastefully built and decorated in rustic style and beautifully maintained.   The house is split into two separate homes, ideal for providing an income from rural tourism. The many features which make this home so special and provide it with its unique rustic charm include its locally made clay floors, ceilings made with reeds harvested from the local river by the owner-builders, painstakingly tied together with hand-woven esparto grass and with exposed timber beams, its custom masonry built-in furniture, such as kitchen and bathroom cabinets featuring either brick or tile with timber doors, custom built seating nooks with exposed brickwork and decorative tiling, wood burning stoves, stone features and colour washed walls in hues of soft blue, green and peach.   The home is very gracefully and harmoniously furnished with timber pieces in authentic styles and timbers handcrafted by local artisans.   There are 3 bedrooms, 2 lounge rooms and 2 kitchens distributed over two storeys: Entry into the first home is from the shady patio; to the left of the entry is a fully equipped kitchen and dining area. Stairs lead up to the lounge with wood burning stove. The bedroom has access to a spacious and original shower room. Entry into the second home is also through the patio; to the left of the entry is a fully equipped kitchen with access to the lounge-dining room featuring a reed ceiling with antique exposed beams and wood burning stove. Stairs lead up to the two bedrooms, one of which has access to a balcony overlooking the patio. The bedrooms share a bathroom with spacious shower recess and rustic features.   The carefully maintained exterior has a well tended garden, planted with a variety of flowering plants, and a patio with custom built Moorish style seating areas.
