This superb room has been designed with both functionality and style in mind, featuring a high-quality fitted kitchen with a range cooker, integrated dishwasher, and a central breakfast island.

Tiled flooring and inset spotlights enhance the modern finish, while the generous proportions allow for both formal dining and relaxed family living, making it an ideal space for entertaining.

From here, there is internal access to the garage/workshop, as well as a separate utility room and a conveniently located ground floor cloakroom.
