A decorative marble fireplace provides an unexpected focal point, while the fitted cabinet complements the character and presentation of the room and will remain as part of the bathroom. Bedroom three is another generously proportioned double bedroom, with a large window bringing excellent natural light into the room. Decorative cornicing and ceiling plasterwork continue the architectural detailing, while a decorative marble fireplace provides a further focal point.

A separate shower room positioned adjacent to bedroom five serves this part of the accommodation and is fitted with a substantial enclosed shower, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. Completing the first floor accommodation is a useful laundry and store room, comprehensively fitted with a range of wall and base cabinetry providing excellent storage, work surfaces, a sink and space and plumbing for laundry appliances.
