A further solid wood turning staircase leads to the top floor galleried landing and an attractive fourth eves bedroom with an en suite fitted with a corner shower.

The south-facing totally private gardens are a special feature being mainly laid to lawn and complemented by herbaceous borders and a generous paved terrace, which is perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxation, as well as an upper gravel terrace.
