A further staircase rises from the first-floor landing to the second floor, where the converted loft space offers a particularly appealing feature of the property. This room provides full head height, under-eaves storage to both sides, and is flooded with natural light via a double-glazed roof window. It offers a highly versatile space, suitable for a variety of uses such as a home office, studio, hobby room, or even an occasional third bedroom, subject to requirements.
