Up on top, a bespoke solid timber staircase leads to the first floor landing. Bright and spacious with luxury cream carpets, the owners have cleverly used part of this space for use as a home office. A series of doors leads to three large double bedrooms, all of which enjoy ensuite bathroom facilities.
