A traditional staircase takes you up to the next floor where you will find original overhead beams across the entire floor, with a pretty double bedroom, accessorized and pieced together with matching bedside tables, fashionable mirrors and a Velux window. This room echoes style and is sure to bring you a peaceful nights sleep. An elegant bathroom rests across from this, with a white finish and a large mirror.
