An original stripped wood sash window above the sink provides visual interest and views into the private internal courtyard. Bifold doors to the garden terrace create a seamless indoor/outdoor space and there’s also a glazed door to the courtyard. Accessed via the courtyard, there is a stunning and supremely useful single storey modern extension that serves as a prep kitchen and utility room, housing additional cabinets and appliances, and incorporating a WC/wet room. With a glass roof and bifold doors at each end it’s flooded with light and provides views of and easy access to the rear garden. Both the kitchen and utility room have underfloor heating.
