On this floor is also a bathroom with a white four-piece suite, shower over the bath and complemented with monochrome tiling.

One floor up is three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all with far-reaching views to the north over the rolling countryside.

The room also has another period fireplace and cornice work.

Two further well-proportioned double rooms also have a similar northerly aspect and wooden flooring.

These both have a modern shower room with a white two-piece suite and walk-in cubicle with an electric shower with natural light provided via a skylight.
