The first bedroom is light and airy, with a double bed, a dressing table and set of drawers.
The second bedroom has two single beds, along with a built-in wardrobe for storage.
The third bedroom has bespoke built-in bunk beds and is suitable for 2 young children. We recommend that it is only suitable for children under the age of 10 due to the size of the bunks.
