The stairs however are in another bedroom 

They're not, there's a door between the stairs and that bedroom. 

Yes, but you have to go through a bedroom to get to it don’t you? 

No, I think you're misreading the floor plan. You go from the landing through door, turn left to go up stairs to attic, or straight on through another door to get into bedroom. 

You’re right, I was misreading it. My bad. Not sure I’ve seen a floor plan where they show the door at the top of the stairs before!  Let us know what it’s like in the flesh OP, it’s lovely from the outside. 

You're still misreading it... Look at the 2nd floor plan. No door at the top, from landing to stairs.

That door in the bedroom is into an understairs cupboard.

I think that door in the bedroom is an under stairs cupboard. 

Some serious potential to create a very nice property hopefully retaining character.

Unless it's been done very recently (and it doesn't look like it) not really a problem from a building regulations enforcement point of view. It is what it is - as long as structurally it's fine and you're happy with insulation / headroom etc then you can view it as a bedroom if you want. Some agents are just paranoid about loft conversions. As far as fire safety is concerned it at least seems to have a door at the bottom of the stairs and on the attic landing, the hazardous conversions are where there's just an open stair leading straight from the main landing into the attic room. 

We looked at a house where there was a staircase from the landing up to the attic room that was split into 3 sections. One did contain a bed but couldn't be classed as a bedroom legally. 

Unsure how safe this would be?
