The central staircase takes you to the first floor where there are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The front bedroom overlooks the outer wall of the Cathedral Close. There is a loft room accessed by a ladder and there is scope to extend the property further subject to obtaining the relevant consents.

Accessed from the sitting room to the rear, is a small private courtyard garden which is paved and enclosed. There is permit parking.
