At garden level, a superb family room opens into a state-of-the-art kitchen/breakfast room designed by Broadstone Architects. The extension, visually impressive and bathed in natural light, won an AAI award in 2010 and it's easy to see why. To the front you will find Bedroom 5 which is a versatile room and a nicely presented shower room. There is also a very convenient store room and a laundry/utility room.
