There is a further en-suite guest bedroom on this floor together with three further, double bedrooms, a family bathroom and shower room on the top floor with access to eaves storage.

A step leads up to a large Easigrass lawned area surrounded by mature borders filled with a variety of mature plants, shrubs and flowers and a fully insulated garden studio with a kitchenette and WC sits against the far wall perfect for use as a gym or home office.
