Completing the ground floor is the sun room, with wall lights and tiled floor; and the study, which would also lend itself as a fourth bedroom, and has a built-in cupboard housing the gas central heating boiler.

The first-floor landing has the welcome addition of a double-glazed Velux window, and has an understairs
