Through the well proportioned dining room and past the solid wood conservatory (which pulls in natural light from the garden) is the well-appointed bespoke kitchen. WIth granite work surfaces, ample storage and a free standing range cooker. Last but by no means least on the ground floor is a useful shower room.
