The double bedroom is generously appointed with space for dressing furniture and offers another lovely view across the wider area and of the trees outside. A large, deep window ledge adds character and charm to the room. The built-in double wardrobe offers a good amount of storage and its sliding mirror doors ensure the room is filled with light reflected from the large window. Finished in white and grey, with a walk-in shower, white WC and pedestal wash hand basin, the bathroom is simple but nicely finished and again, of a good size.
