Freshen up in the handy WC before making your way through to the impressively sized, open plan lounge-dining room. Spacious and bright, sunlight streams in through the multitude of windows and bifolding doors, which open out to the garden terrace, framing views of the countryside beyond, and ideal for alfresco summertime dining. In wintertime, warmth emanates from the wall mounted, glass fronted real-flame effect fire .

Comfort and warmth
Another glass fronted living flame fire features along the panel-effect wall of the entrance hall, issuing warmth and welcome when returning home from a brisk winter walk about the local countryside.

A sociable space, share a glass or two of wine with the chef, whilst hosting family and friends for dinner. Speakers subtly recessed within the ceiling, providing the perfect accompaniment to the evening.

A low wall zones the dining area from the kitchen, whilst retaining a sociable flow, and bifolding doors glide back to offer a seamless connection with the vast stone patio, enabling indoor-outdoor dining. Inside, a log-burning stove, nestled in the corner of the room, issues reassuring warmth as the year progresses.
