Your three bedrooms (all are good doubles) rest at the rear of the property, looking out to lovely Lettsom Gardens.

Next door, the next bedroom is over 12 feet by over 8 feet, with fitted shelving to its alcove. And finally your third bedroom is nearly 13 feet by over 8 feet, with built-in closets.
