The well cared for parquet flooring continues up on the first floor with a spacious landing and wonderful views. There are four bedrooms and the family bathroom with its superb ‘retro’ cast iron bath. The principal bedroom is of note with a dual aspect, one looking across neighbouring gardens and to the hills over the city to the east.
