Following on from the kitchen is an inviting living/dining room with a cast-iron fireplace and a vaulted ceiling with recessed lighting. Flooring is polished timber.

The main bedroom has a gas fireplace with a cast iron surround.Next door is a good-sized bathroom with a roll-top bath and timber panelled walls. The shower has an oversized rainfall shower head.
