Decorative cornices adorn the ceilings in each room and are quite impressive. No room is complete without a touch of history; even the storerooms have intricate ceiling work. <strong>The</strong> former ballroom and large dining room contribute to the elegantly proportioned rooms, along with three bedrooms. A marble mantelpiece makes the large fireplace the highlight of the grand drawing room, which features high ceilings and a strong taste of historical grandeur. Interested in this property?
