Overlooking the rear garden, Bedroom three provides a well-proportioned third bedroom, positioned adjacent to the family bathroom, which is fitted with a retro suite comprising a bath with overhead shower screen and a pedestal wash hand basin set against patterned wall tiling. Completing this floor is Bedroom four to the front, ideal as a single bedroom, nursery, or home office, alongside a separate, conveniently located cloakroom/WC off the main landing.

The top floor accommodation is reached via a second staircase rising to a spacious landing providing potential for a dedicated study area bathed in natural light from a window overlooking the side elevation. This versatile level comprises two further bedrooms set beneath vaulted, sloped ceilings, each benefiting from its own window offering elevated views. Bedroom five (Attic room 1) provides a cozy single room or nursery featuring a rear-facing window, while Bedroom six (attic room 2) situated off the front end of the generous landing, offers flexible space ideal for a home office, hobby room, or additional guest accommodation.
