Two built-in wardrobes with white painted doors provide excellent storage.

Bedroom three is a smaller single room, ideal as a child’s bedroom, nursery or perhaps as a home office. It features light grey walls, a darker grey carpet, a window on the far wall and a small built-in storage space, with a radiator positioned on the near wall.
