The main bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with dual French doors opening to Juliet balconies overlooking the East facing portion of the garden. There is also an en-suite shower fitted with contemporary subway tiles, and a walk in dressing room (agent's note: by shifting the position of the door this room could also be used as a standalone fifth bedroom or nursery if required).
