The Landing incorporates a spacious area for the second staircase going up to the huge loft conversion.

The Master Bedroom up on the top floor is massive with an equally huge Ensuite Bathroom with both a Freestanding Bath and a huge walk-in Shower. A superb outlook through the French doors in the bedroom.

Externally, the Garden enjoys a superb vista, an oversized split level Patio terrace and a swish gun metal Gazebo with retractable sides. A Cabin at the bottom of the Garden would make a great Gym, Home Office, or Bar.
