On the second floor, there are two large en-suite bedrooms, along with a versatile landing area currently in use as a home office. Bedroom two benefits from a covered balcony with views towards the mouth of the river, while the principal bedroom enjoys uninterrupted views across the boatyard, river, moorings and countryside beyond.
