A family room in the lower ground floor doubles as a home office and even a bedroom for visiting guests.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor split landing there are three bedrooms which all have large windows bringing in lots of natural light and all with graceful proportions that give a very tranquil feeling.

The family bathroom is on the right with its modern white suite, shower over bath and heated towel rail to complete the luxury feel. A deep storage cupboard with heated bar keeps towels and laundry lovely and warm.
