Due to the clever design and orientation, the conservatory is a wonderful space to relax in and enjoy the views over the garden all year round. The flooring continues through these two further reception rooms.

The open-plan kitchen/breakfast room has been beautifully designed using bespoke and hand built cabinetry complementing sleek Italian Quarts work surface and square peninsula.
