Further along is a powder room before a large dining room and separate kitchen both with sliding doors to a private courtyard garden with rear lane ROW. Upstairs is a huge main bedroom opening to a park-view balcony that incorporates a walk-in robe with shared access to a big and bright bathroom (shower beside bathtub). Whilst at the rear is an oversized bedroom featuring direct access onto a rooftop terrace that combines city skyline views with an external staircase down to the courtyard.
