The kitchen/diner leads off from the hallway, fitted with base and wall units and integrated appliances including double oven, dishwasher, gas hob and one and half bowl sink. There is ample space for a large family dining room, creating a wonderful entertaining and social space. A large utility room sits off of the kitchen, housing the white goods and offering further storage space. A practical room for forest living, with a side door into the garage.

A cosy snug with French doors onto the rear terrace and a generous sitting room with a feature bay window, featuring full height windows and doors out, offering an amazing amount of light and lovely views onto the gardens.
