Furthermore, there is a high-level window to the side which captures forest views in addition to allowing more natural light to circulate. With quality storage to either side, a wood burner set upon a stone hearth with a quartz insert and a wooden mantle above forms an attractive focal point within the living room which flows freely into the dining room, with wet underfloor heating, with two Velux windows capturing views of the open skies. There is plenty of space to dine before the sliding doors which open into the rear garden creating free flow of movement between indoor and outdoor living.
