On the first floor there is a good size landing with access to a sizable loft, double width airing cupboard and door leading through to the master bedroom. This room overlooks the front garden and has a TV point to one wall as well as wardrobes that the vendors are happy to leave due to the fact that they fit the space they are in perfectly.
