The house is exceptionally luminous, and is a mix of old style retaining the character of yesteryear, but also mixed with modern, global influences.
The property is very comfortable thanks to the modern technologies used (high quality insulation, solar panels etc). The owner actually sells electricity back to the grid that is produced from these panels.
