Upstairs, the home continues to impress. The principal bedroom spans the front of the house, benefitting from dual-aspect windows and ample space for bespoke storage to be built. A well-proportioned second double bedroom sits centrally, while the third bedroom to the rear offers a cosy and flexible space, ideal as a study, nursery, or guest room. There is a large linen cupboard on the landing, useful for storage. The family bathroom is finished in neutral tones, featuring a full-sized bath with overhead shower and natural light from a window.
