The second ground floor bedroom leads through an oval door and step down into a substantial room that currently houses a large double bed, Chesterfield sofa and other bedroom furniture offering a quite retreat for those in their later years, making these two rooms perfect for those looking for a house for a multi-generational family. These rooms could also be used as an office and cinema room if so desired to offer perfect work/home balance for working professionals who like to entertain.
