To the rear, the property opens into a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family room measuring over 25 feet in width, creating an exceptional entertaining and family space.
The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of contemporary cabinetry, quality work surfaces and integrated appliances, whilst large rooflights and rear-facing glazing flood the room with natural light and provide direct access to the south-facing garden.
