Full-height built-in wardrobes grace the generous front master and second bedrooms, with the nearby third bedroom overlooking a sprawling "blank canvas" of a backyard. Brilliant in its simplicity, the practical bathroom comprises of a Roman bath/shower and a powder vanity. A linen press and laundry with more storage and a separate toilet complete this part of the house's layout.
