Stairs lead up to the main penthouse, comprising a central landing, with the large sitting room to one side, with two dormer windows to the front, plus double doors leading into the kitchen/dining room.
The kitchen units and worktops have been replaced and upgraded recently, with new flooring, making the room feel brighter and more modern.
