There is a range of floor and wall mounted shaker-style units with Oak work surfaces. In addition, there's a second hidden staircase in the kitchen providing access to the first floor. The kitchen benefits from a utility room nearby, which includes boot cupboards and appliances. The kitchen has quarry tiled flooring that is perfect for the country lifestyle.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
