NOTE
It should be noted that Bedroom 3 is adjacent to the bathroom to the annexe area and if the annexe was not utilised in its current capacity it could easily be a Jack and Jill en suite to Bedroom 3. By sealing up the door from Bedroom 2 into Bedroom 3 this would create two separate private bedrooms. In Bedroom 1 there is space to be able to add an en suite shower room and still retain a good sized master bedroom.
