The welcoming entrance hall provides access to all of the ground floor accommodation, including a snug, utility room, a generous L-shaped sitting room and library area and a newly extended, light-filled family room – separated from the sitting room by Crittal-style doors. The impressive space features two sets of bifold doors opening directly to the garden and leads seamlessly into the fabulous open-plan kitchen/dining room, which is also accessed from the main entrance hall. The kitchen incorporates newly fitted cabinetry by The Kitchen Depot with sleek matte cabinetry and a large central island with integrated breakfast bar, as well as premium Karndean flooring.
