Make your way into the open-plan living and kitchen space, with warm oak flooring extending under skylights that fill the room with light. Flanked by Wainscot to provide an elegant and inviting space for dinner parties or casual meals, the open-plan design makes it easy to chat with the chef as meals are prepared.
