Internal bi-folding doors open seamlessly into the spectacular rear extension – an open-plan living, kitchen, and dining space that forms the true heart of the home.

The living area continues the theme of quality with a second bespoke wood-panelled media wall and is open to the state-of-the-art kitchen, which has been designed with both style and function in mind.
