The kitchen comprises a solid fuel AGA, plus a freestanding double range electric cooker and space for an American style fridge/freezer with a kitchen door to the surrounding terrace and garden.

The triple aspect lounge provides an abundance of light and views towards the garden and countryside beyond, it features a log burner to unwind and enjoy cosy nights and double doors opening out to the terrace for warmer evenings.

The use of pine decor throughout the bungalow gives a ‘Scandinavian feel’ to the property.
