Other Things to Note:
The stairs particularly leading up to the bedrooms (third floor) are very steep and narrow so we would recommend the property only suitable for children over 7 years and those fit and able to climb them.
Please note the bathroom is on the second floor so should you need the bathroom in the night you will need to use the stairs (stairs have light sensors to assist you).
The WIFI is not a very strong signal throughout the whole house.
