This magnificent kitchen and dining area is the heart of the home.

A substantial central island, an array of handcrafted wooden wall and base units, and a grand Lacanche-style range cooker with extractor provide both beauty and function. There is ample space for a large American-style fridge-freezer, and an open archway leads seamlessly to a well-appointed utility room, offering additional workspace and plumbing for appliances. A door from here opens into a practical tiled boot room—ideal for countryside living.
