With a king-sized bed, wardrobe, armchair, large chest of drawers, it offers plenty of space, whilst it also boasts an en suite shower room, complete with large walk-in shower with rainfall head and underfloor heating. We just love the pretty pinks used here.

Nested in the corner by the exposed stone feature wall is a gorgeous freestanding bath, whilst there's a mirrored wardrobe and medium-sized chest of drawers to store your belongings as well as an armchair.
