The fifth bedroom, currently used as a home office, benefits from fitted wardrobes, and the fourth bedroom is also located on the ground floor—ideal for guests or multi-generational living. A separate utility area offers practical storage and appliance space, while a modern wet room features a walk-in shower, wall-mounted WC and hand wash basin.

An elegant oak staircase with aluminium railings leads to the first floor, where three further well-proportioned bedrooms are located. The principal bedroom impresses with its spacious layout and a luxurious walk-in wardrobe.
