The kitchen flows seamlessly into a beautiful dining area, perfect for family meals or entertaining guests, and bi-fold doors open into the garden room, which in turn leads to a south-facing terrace with panoramic views of Caer Caradoc and Ragleth Hill.

This space is ideal for gatherings, complemented by an additional outdoor cooking and BBQ area.

Practicality is also considered, with a utility room featuring a dog shower, WC, and plumbing for laundry, as well as access to the back drive, annexe, and stabling.
