The bathroom on this floor is equipped with a shower and a sink. This floor offers considerable potential for modernization and customization to suit personal preferences and requirements.

The attic floor is reached via a fixed staircase, indicating that this is a proper living level rather than just storage space. The attic features a spacious landing with storage areas and an additional bedroom. This configuration provides a total of four bedrooms across the property when the first floor is restored to its original three bedroom layout.

The rear garden faces northwest, which means it receives sunlight from the afternoon into the evening hours. The garden is 32 square meters in size, measuring 6 meters in depth and 5.25 meters in width. This deep garden provides space for multiple seating areas and allows for a green layout. The garden is accessible via a rear path. Additionally, there is a free standing stone storage shed on the property for garden equipment and bicycles.
