The property also benefits from a fully boarded loft, complete with lighting and power, providing additional storage potential.

The bathroom is a distinctive feature, combining green wall panelling with pale upper walls and timber accents. A double bath is complemented by a separate shower, pedestal wash basin and WC. A patterned radiator adds a decorative detail, while a window brings in natural light and ventilation.
