This attractive room is well lit by a full length window to the side and patio doors looking onto the rear gardens and a spacious paved walled patio. Above this room is a most useful study office ideal for those who work from home. Off the study is a double bedroom, also with a full length side feature window and having Velux roof lights and useful built in under eaves storage.
