The guest bedroom is generously sized and benefits from an en suite shower room, while the fourth bedroom is a good-sized double, and is a versatile space creating the perfect study room. Both these rooms overlook the cobbled courtyard, which catches the morning sunshine. Stairs from the entrance/dining room rise to the first-floor landing, which accesses an impressive vaulted principal bedroom, bedroom three and the family bathroom.
