Rising to the first floor, the principal bedroom suite enjoys a dual aspect and a beautifully vaulted ceiling, with a feature decorative fireplace plus a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room. The other four bedrooms are serviced by two additional family bathrooms, and what is currently labelled as bedroom 5 could easily be used as a games room due to its excellent size and abundance of natural light.
