Nothing much to add really other than whats said already, very strange layout but for where the house is in the UK, a good price.
Four beds have been squeezed into a space that should have had 3 decent bedrooms in it though.
If money wasn't an issue, and 3 bed was big enough (can the garage be converted to a bedroom at a later date if needed?), would using the door to B4 be an option and get rid of B1 door and widen the en-suite to the top of the stairs? I know the main issue is the size of the master but the en-suite does seem to be quite tiny too. Even joining B1 & B4 together, not sure you would have a decent space around the bed to get a table and to be able to get around it easily. Also, by doing this, the master would share a wall with B2 and so any nocturnal noises from the master WILL be heard in B2. As it stands, at least B4 will act as a sound barrier from the master and where I assume the kids will sleep (B2 & 3).
Downstairs is a nice flowing layout
We used to live in a ex LA house, two of the bedrooms were about 12 feet square and with having a super - king size bed, it had to go on a corner (so we could get in furniture/wardrobes) - it was a pain for the wife to keep clambering down the bed to get out. Obvious from the EA pics, that is what someone has to do at that house now. It will get boring very soon!
You'd need to box clever, only one window on the landing, you really don't want to make that space too poky. Four beds have been squeezed into a space that should have had 3 decent bedrooms in it though.

Second viewing done and in with an offer of £270,000 so just waiting to hear back from the agent.
For reference this is what the house looked like in 2009.
