The double vaulted ceiling, adorned with exposed Canadian spruce timbers, adds to the grandeur of the space, while Indian stone flooring and underfloor heating ensure comfort throughout the seasons.
Attention to detail is evident throughout the Owl House, with a bespoke staircase leading to a charming loft room featuring a super king bed and a luxurious en-suite bathroom complete with a double-ended slipper bath and deluxe shower.
