Each bedroom is a sizeable double, with ample space for freestanding wardrobes, TV cabinets, and a double bed. The bedroom windows are also shuttered, effectively blocking out light to help with a good night’s sleep.
The family bathroom includes a WC, vanity storage unit with built-in wash basin, a bathtub with overhead electric shower, and a towel rail.
