Adjacent to the main living area is a delightful second living room, affectionately known as the Tartan Room. Richly furnished, it features a gas fireplace and a cosy library. In this same part of the home, you'll find a large sitting room, formerly the art room with a beautiful bay window overlooking the garden.
Upstairs, the master suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a full en-suite, walk-in robe, and ample space for an exercise area. A second generous bedroom, also featuring a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite, is conveniently located nearby.
