The first floor offers five genuine double bedrooms arranged over two interconnected landings, providing flexibility for growing families or those requiring home working space. Several of the bedrooms retain original Victorian fireplaces, further adding to the home's character and charm. The family bathroom serves the first floor accommodation.

Importantly, the space, proportions and wealth of original features provide an outstanding foundation for someone wishing to create a truly individual long-term family home.
