On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, both set in the eaves with gorgeous painted exposed beams and again, those characteristic pointed head windows, with one room overlooking the pretty garden and the other with views of the Mendip Hills. Both bedrooms have large built in wardrobes with the principal bedroom also having a further storage cupboard with ample shelving and a feature fireplace with wood surround. The light and bright bathroom has been recently redone and has a large bath with overhead waterfall shower, as well as a skylight and a built in sink unit with storage.

To the rear, there is a decked terraced area which is covered by another slate tiled veranda that wraps around the side of the property. The stone walled gravel terrace beyond serves as a perfect area for outdoor entertaining and dining. Up several steps, there is a good sized stone walled raised garden, laid to lawn and bordered on all sides with a wide variety of shrubbery and trees.
