All five bedrooms are en-suite with the master featuring a private balcony overlooking the serene canopy of oak trees. The upstairs loft provides open space for lounging while the downstairs bedrooms offer privacy, away from the public spaces. And a bedroom downstairs, with its own private entrance and sitting room, makes for a great guest bedroom.
