A convenient cloakroom with WC and wash-hand basin is accessed via the Dining Room, adding practicality for both residents and guests.
Ascending to the first floor, the main sleeping accommodation consists of three generously proportioned bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation.
