The sitting room is located to the left of the entrance hallway and leads into the ground floor bedroom, or third reception room.

A second bedroom is located behind the master bedroom, and independantly accessed via a second staircase. A substantial undeveloped area (47m2) to the right of the landing offers an interesting opportunity to create a further two or three bedrooms.
