Along the landing, views greet you once more from the large windows, en route to the shower room, fully tiled to the walls with a feature wall of Laura Ashley wallpaper and furnished with shower, vanity unit wash basin and WC.

Bedroom three is carpeted and offers versatility of use, currently configured as a dressing room with views out over the garden, providing access to the bedroom area, with views over the countryside to the front and with plenty of space for a double bed.

Private oasis
