With a bathroom to service each level, eight double bedrooms are split over the first and second floors with the potential to combine some of these rooms to create impressive suites with walk-in wardrobes and en-suites, and still have enough bedrooms left over to repurpose some to suit further needs, such as home offices, gyms or studios. Aiding refurbishment, there is plumbing in place in many points of the house.
Precedent has been set should the purchaser wish to seek permissions to extend into the loft, further increasing the footprint of this already gargantuan house. There is also a cellar with two-rooms, ideal for storage or conversion into a utility room.
