The thoughtfully designed kitchen-diner showcases quality quartz worktops and a sophisticated island unit, complemented by a feature fireplace and ceramic flooring. Well-equipped with an electric oven, induction hob, and integrated appliances, the space centres around a convivial farmhouse table where French doors invite the garden's beauty inside.

Imagine starting your day with coffee in the garden, surrounded by mature trees and shrubs, before exploring the nearby bridle paths and woodland trails.
