Adjacent to the living room is a double bedroom, currently serving as a home gym. It features laminate flooring, a double-glazed window overlooking the rear, and the possibility of knocking through to create an even more extensive space or use as an additional bedroom. 
The kitchen awaits transformation, with tiled wood effect flooring, two pantries with shelving and a window, a sink unit, and plumbing for a washing machine. The main kitchen area boasts double-glazed sliding patio doors, and while currently only equipped with base units, the space has a gas supply and an extractor vent.
