The Orangery provides a light and spacious area that connects the living room with the kitchen. This versatile space offers ample room for both dining and seating areas, ideal for enjoying views of the gardens. French doors open onto the south-facing patio which enjoys sunshine for much of the day.
The kitchen is fitted with limestone flooring and a central island providing additional preparation space. A feature electric four-oven Aga forms the focal point of the room, while the sink is set beneath a window overlooking the rear gardens.
