Undoubtedly one of the highlights of the property is the beautifully refitted kitchen/breakfast room, which extends across the rear of the house and provides a wonderfully sociable space for everyday family life. The kitchen has been fitted with an attractive range of shaker-style cabinetry, complemented by coordinating work surfaces, integrated appliances and a substantial central island incorporating a breakfast bar.

A particularly appealing feature is the arrangement of rooflights, which flood the room with natural light, while the generous proportions comfortably accommodate a family dining table.
