On the first floor there are two spacious double bedrooms, with fitted wardrobes and built in desks, ideal for home working, or as dressing tables. Both benefit from east facing windows bringing in morning light, cast iron fireplaces and reclaimed timber floorboards.

This floor comprises a large double bedroom which is currently used as a home office and library (the open bookshelves could be easily converted into bedroom storage). The room has patio doors leading out to a Moroccan tiled light well providing natural light and ventilation (as well as a fire escape to ensure it is Building Control compliant).
