The kitchen itself is fitted with an extensive range of bespoke Shaker-style cabinetry arranged around a substantial central island, providing excellent preparation, storage and informal seating space.

Beyond the kitchen is a superb dining and family area beneath a glazed roof, flooding the space with natural light and creating a particularly strong connection with the rear garden.
