Two staircases complete with brass hand rails provide access to the lower ground floor where there is a large family cinema room complete with stylish bar area, a games room, gymnasium, small utility area and WC. The vendors have cleverly retained and exposed some of the original brickwork in the hallway as a feature and all rooms have their own access to the terrace and gardens beyond. To the first floor, the principal suite is generously sized, offering stylish fitted wardrobes housed in a separate dressing area, and a sizeable en-suite with freestanding tub, shower and marble topped sink unit.
