The main bathroom also opens from the first floor landing and is fitted with a four piece suite and separate shower, with useful vanity storage and demisting mirror. The stair then continues to a second landing with mirrored proportions, hosting a king sized bedroom with in-built storage and an adjoining single bedroom perfect as a child s room or nursery. A sumptuous bedroom suite is set to the far end of the landing, with adequate space for living and office furnishings, with a well-appointed shower room set between the two. A fitted timber attic stair extends to a super storage area above.The garden is a fantastic private area, a fully enclosed walled courtyard with access directly on street via a secure timber gate. Newly gravelled with a pergola seating area and mature planting.Ideal for those requiring easy access to a range of amenities, facilities and nearby countryside, the property is ideally suited to those perhaps downsizing who enjoy hosting guests, families with grown up children, or as a lifestyle change or second home, for which Kelso is an incredibly popular spot.
