Concluding the ground floor accommodation is a bathroom, accessed from the utility room.
On the first floor, the landing has a sash window to the front with stained glass and a large storeroom which could make an ideal walk-in wardrobe and there is also access to a loft which is boarded out.

There is a further double bedroom to the rear with two double glazed windows overlooking the Roman Valley and Donyland Woods, a wardrobe recess and access to the loft.
