To the rear, the principal bedroom is a generous double with bespoke fitted wardrobes and direct access onto a private balcony via sliding doors. The outlook is notably green and private, providing a tucked-away feel rarely found in such a central location. The second bedroom offers excellent flexibility as a guest room, home office or nursery.

The bathroom has been recently updated by the current owner and is finished in a sleek, contemporary style, featuring modern tiling and a walk-in shower. Additional storage is available from the entrance hall.
