The kitchen has a rustic charm with its oil fired Aga and chimney, exposed beams and matching wall and base units. The separate island with storage underneath provides further storage with one aspect overlooking the gardens and pantry. The dining room and breathtaking conservatory have access to the rear gardens via double patio doors and provide the perfect location to relax and entertain guests.
