The kitchen is fitted with a range of eye and base level storage cupboards, and space for domestic appliances. From the kitchen a side door provides access out to the rear garden. From the kitchen there is an opening leading to the dining area, this space is large enough to house a six person table and chairs. Continuing on from the dining area is the light and airy rear aspect lounge, which is an expansive room enjoying multiple windows allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the room and enjoy views out onto the impressive garden.
