Occupying the second floor is an impressive principal suite, featuring a spacious bedroom, a contemporary shower room complete with a sauna, and a large walk-in dressing room, creating a luxurious and private retreat.

The current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of improvements, ensuring the property is presented in excellent condition and ready to be enjoyed.
