On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a bathroom, with two further double bedrooms on the second floor.

There is a changing room with a shower and a cloakroom. Double sets of glazed, triple doors open into the brick-based conservatory with a stone floor, which has also been updated, and opens out on to the terrace and rear garden.
