The principal bedroom enjoys a generous layout with large windows, a wall of built-in wardrobes, and a private en suite. A second bedroom also benefits from its own en suite, providing ideal accommodation for family or guests. Three further bedrooms are finished in soft neutral tones and benefit from excellent natural light. On the top floor, a charming attic room with a sloped ceiling and traditional window provides a versatile additional space which would perfect as a guest room, studio, or playroom.
