Across the hallway is the sitting room, another family orientated room, with French doors leading out to the garden. The sitting room is a very cosy space, with a dual fuel burner surrounded by an exposed brick hearth. Adjacent to this room is the study, a multifunctional space; great as a home office or even as a playroom for young children. For the owners, it has even provided extra accommodation for guests and could serve as an additional bedroom.

Situated on the first floor are all three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom offers spacious accommodation with built in wardrobes and an en-suite with a roomy walk in shower. The further two bedrooms are both well proportioned, easily allowing for a double bed. The main bathroom houses a bath and features a large sash window, giving the room light and creating a wonderfully calm environment.
