The kitchen also has a door to the garden, providing easy access for outdoor dining on the terrace. The ground floor is completed by a versatile study, a utility room and a cloakroom. Stairs rise from the reception hall to the first floor and a lift in the corner of the study also provides access to the first floor but could easily be removed if not needed.
