The master bedroom comes with its own large adjoining dressing room and extremely spacious bathroom.

“The hall is naturally lit and has its original tongue and groove panelling to dado level. It offers access to all rooms, including the principal suite that is reached via a short stair.The living area faces west and overlooks St Giles. The room is divided by a double-sided fireplace, thus allowing for various options of use for this magnificent and adaptable space.
