A corridor leads to the two other bedrooms, which — like the first — boast vaulted ceilings and rare period flooring.
The bedrooms have street-facing balconies and characteristic period railings.
In addition the bedroom ceilings are all 8 metres (26+ ft); it is possible to create mezzanine/open-space loft floors in them should you wish, thus increasing the apartments living space.
