the principal bedroom suite occupies the first floor and includes a showstopping bathroom, dressing room and views across the rear gardens. a further four bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors, providing generous accommodation for family and guests. in total, the house offers six bedrooms with the flexibility for a seventh if required.
