To one side lies the second bedroom, currently arranged as a study, offering flexibility for visiting guests or home working. Opposite is a well-appointed shower room fitted with a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.

The sitting room is particularly bright and inviting, enjoying uninterrupted views across the communal gardens and surrounding estate land, featuring an electric fireplace with a stone mantel and hearth, creating an attractive focal point within the room.
The generously proportioned principal bedroom enjoys views over the front communal lawn and benefits from fitted wardrobes together with an ensuite bathroom comprising a double enclosed shower, wash basin and WC.
