Adjacent to the kitchen is the utility room with further cabinets, sink, space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer and a door to the garden. Within the utility room are the boiler and controls for the solar panels.

Double doors open to a further reception room, again with wood flooring, and a window and French doors opening to the parking area at the front of the house. This spacious and versatile room could be used as a study, playroom or second sitting room or, with the addition of the adjoining dining room and utility room, could be converted (subject to the necessary consents) into a 'Granny Annex'. From the hall is a cloakroom with WC, vanity wash basin and built-in cupboard.
