Exposed beams and an exposed brick fireplace housing a warming wood-burning stove create a cosy atmosphere, while a large understairs storage cupboard provides practical solutions. Stairs ascend to the first floor, and a latch door leads to steps connecting to the impressive kitchen area.

The heart of The Nutshell is undoubtedly the superb Kitchen / Diner. Here, twin double-glazed windows illuminate a stunning vaulted ceiling. The kitchen area is well-equipped with a range of base and glass-fronted display cupboards, complemented by elegant granite worksurfaces and a breakfast bar with an inset Butler sink. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the inset two-ring gas hob, range cooker with extractor over, and integral microwave, alongside plumbing for a dishwasher. Quarry tiled flooring flows through to a spacious area for a table and chairs, enhanced by feature beams and a vertical radiator. A large storage cupboard discreetly houses the gas-fired boiler and immersion heater.

Beyond the kitchen, the Dining Area offers a delightful space with double-glazed sliding patio doors opening directly to the rear garden, providing a seamless transition to outdoor living. Exposed beams and quarry tiled flooring add to the charm.
