Stairs lead up to the first floor, and a door leads into the Study / Bedroom 4 which is a really useful extra downstairs room that conveniently benefits from an extra door back into the lobby. The Amtico flooring unifies the space by flowing through a wide opening into a separate dining room. French doors open onto the rear and give you a nice view over the garden.
Upstairs, there's an airing cupboard on the landing and timber latch doors lead to the bedrooms. The master bedroom has a real "wow" factor.
