Next door, the chic shower room is right on trend with a dual head system, a sleek vanity unit under the hand basin and fabulous sensor lit mirror so everyone will feel like a VIP.
The principle suite:
This private sanctuary enjoys the whole of the second floor, spreading its wings from east to west and it is all that you could dream of with leafy views so you wake to birdsong. The bedroom has ample floorspace even with a large bed and wardrobes in situ, and there is deep under eave storage. Spa like, the en suite is big enough for both a bath with a shower attachment and a separate walk in shower with a powerful wand and drench shower head, the broad hand basin rests on top of a gleaming cabinet and touches of glamour include a sensor lit mirror.
Agent says:
“Perfect for families and professionals with a good primary school and park just a few minutes’ walk away and nearby bus routes to the whole of the city giving older children a degree of independence, although the sea is nearby, you’re away from the crowds of tourists.”
