A bedroom on the first floor can be accessed behind one door. And behind another, you’ll find a birch plywood staircase that leads to the second floor master bedroom. According to the listing, the upstairs bedroom space is similarly built in birch ply and is designed to accommodate a king-size bed that slots into the space.

Other upgrades to the home include a floor-to-ceiling slatted window on one wall that lets sunlight flood the main space. The original exposed rafters and flint walls are now whitewashed giving it a more clean and modern look, and the first floor features an open floor place of living, dining and kitchen space fitted with an AGA cooker.
