A cosy setting for luxurious repose, the third bedroom welcomes with beautifully appointed twin beds, where built-in wardrobes offer ample space for stowing away belongings.
Conveniently positioned on the first floor, the family bathroom is a haven for relaxing self-care rituals, featuring a large rainfall shower for refreshing mornings, and a slipper bathtub that beckons for bubble-topped soaks. On the ground floor, you'll find an additional toilet within the utility room. Bamford products can be found throughout the bathrooms, bringing a touch of luxury to your daily routines.
Please note, there are level changes between some of the rooms on both floors, with two steps down into the first bedroom, and one step up to the remaining bedrooms. The staircase also features an open-tread design, so do take care when moving between floors.
