The kitchen also has French doors and has plenty of space for a breakfast table. It is fitted with a range of traditionally styled base and wall mounted units with integrated appliances which include an under-counter fridge, electric hob and oven. The room is part heated by a wood burning stove for additional warmth in the winter. The back door is situated in the adjacent utility room which also has a door to the back corridor. The utility room contains a washing-machine, tall fridge-freezer and a small microwave. Accommodation on the ground floor is completed with a study / bedroom with shower room opposite, which is an ideal and private space for guests or those needing GF bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom faces south west and has an en suite bathroom with separate shower. There are a further 3 double bedrooms off the landing which share a family bathroom with separate shower.

St Michaels View Workshop:
The workshop at St Michaels View is built to a very high standard and was completed for the current owner in 2002. The workshop has a steel frame and a corrugated roof with timber cladding. The workshop spans over 2700 sq ft and has two main work areas along with an office, kitchen, store rooms, WC and boiler room. The space could be utilised in a number of different ways from car storage / repair, to an art studio to wood working to name just a few. There is plenty of space around the workshop so that larger machinery can manoeuvre safely around the area.

The plot around the house is surrounded by open fields and is planted with a variety of mature shrubs and trees providing shelter and a home to wildlife. There is a lawn on the south side of the house with an adjacent terrace where outdoor dining can be enjoyed. The property is accessed via a shared private driveway which splits in two, to the house and to the workshop.
