A hatch with pull-down ladder provides easy access to a substantial amount of storage space in the loft which stretches the full length of the house and is floored down the centre.
Back off the hall behind the two reception rooms are two double bedrooms and a shower room. The main bedroom to the right which is carpeted, has a window enjoying an open aspect over the back garden and the hill beyond. A substantial built-in wardrobe concealed behind sliding mirrored doors provides plenty of clothes space although the additional fitted bedroom furniture with wardrobe space, chest of drawers and additional cupboards around the bed will remain.

The second bedroom, again a large double, also has a window to the rear of the house enjoying the open aspect. This room is presently used as an office and has extensive fitted book shelves around the desk, and a run of fitted units to the wall opposite, all of which will remain. The large shower room has a wet room style wet-wall lined shower enclosure fed by the District Heating system, plus a WC and wash hand basin set in an extensive run of fitted units which provide plenty of shelf and cupboard space for toiletries etc., and also conceals the toilet cistern, the wash hand basin having a wall mirror and spotlight over.
