This has a large double bedroom, and a utility area. There is also a family bathroom with bath with shower attachment, toilet and hand basin. A corridor leads to the mezzanine area overlooking the open plan living area. This is currently used as an office, but has been created so that conversion to a fourth double bedroom would be easy.
