Adjoining the kitchen are the utility room and separate laundry/boot room with cloakroom and access to the garden.

To the first floor are the generous dual aspect principal bedroom with walk in wardrobe and en-suite shower room and three further well-proportioned bedrooms, all serviced by the family bathroom. The bath/shower rooms were designed and installed by Inspired Restorations in Noke.
