The extended, open plan kitchen/dining room has a part-vaulted ceiling, extensive glazing allowing lots of natural light, extensive storage cabinetry and drawers, working surfaces, Aga range oven, attractive tiled floors and access to a walk-in pantry and utility room. There is access to the side and rear garden from this room and the outside w.c positioned at the side.
