The principal bedroom is a generous double room benefitting from an en-suite shower room comprising a WC, wash hand basin and enclosed shower cubicle.

Featuring a vaulted ceiling, this impressive space offers excellent storage and a touch of luxury rarely found in similar properties. The second bedroom also forms part of the extension and enjoys a vaulted ceiling, creating a spacious and characterful double bedroom.
