A distinctive curved quadrant seating area lies just off the kitchen, an unusual architectural feature that adds character and is an ideal spot for a relaxing coffee whilst soaking up the views of the garden.

The main reception is an impressive room with a high-standing wood burner creating a warming focal point. Leading open-plan to a superb garden room fronting the house, the area works well for year-round entertaining, filling the house with natural light.

A separate snug is ideal for teenagers or simply as a useful second reception.
