There are an array of storage cupboards neatly hidden behind timber doors, which just add to the features of this room. The room opens into the bright KITCHEN, very useful for entertaining. From the dining hall is a UTILITY SPACE leading into the SHOWER ROOM. Two steps take you up to two wonderfully character filled DOUBLE BEDROOMS, stunning arched mullion windows allow light to flood in. Stairs rise up to the FIRST FLOOR and a superb and extremely generous SITTING ROOM which features views across the river and to the Purbeck hills beyond. The original features in this room are sublime and really bring home the idea that you are in a converted church. On this level there is a stunning PRINCIPAL BEDROOM with gorgeous arched mullion windows, space for a dressing area/lounging space and an ENSUITE BATHROOM.
