GROUND FLOOR
The open-plan kitchen, living and dining room occupies an extended area of the house and has been transformed into a bright, inviting space designed for cooking, dining and entertaining. Characterful features include an exposed stone wall, vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers and generous natural light from multiple aspects. The kitchen itself features Shaker-style cabinetry with quartz surfaces, an integrated dishwasher, induction hob, double electric oven, and windows overlooking two open front aspects. The living and dining areas offer ample room for large furniture and has French doors leading directly to the garden.

The separate living room is a particularly comfortable space with a number of features including exposed beams, high ceilings, and a rebuilt fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. A sash window to the front offers an open aspect and plenty of natural light.
A generous boot room/utility provides practical storage with fitted cabinetry, woodblock surfaces, space and plumbing for appliances and access to both the front and rear via a stable door and additional exterior door.
