The principal bedroom is a generous dual aspect room with exposed beams and excellent natural light. It benefits from an en suite fitted with a Duravit shower. The large landing currently serves as an ideal home office area, perfect for remote working.

Bedroom two is notably large and provides excellent versatility. Bedroom three includes a range of fitted wardrobes, making it a practical and comfortable space. A spacious family bathroom, fitted in 2017, serves the bedrooms. It features an elegant egg shaped bath, a large walk in shower with built in seat, underfloor heating and a heated towel rail, creating a luxurious spa like environment.
