Entrance Hall
The front door leads into the main hallway, with the staircase to the first floor directly ahead. Doors lead to the sitting room on the left and the open-plan living room on the right.

Sitting Room
A lovely, intimate space with windows to the front and side, this room features a wood-burning stove as its focal point. It provides the perfect complement to the open-plan living room next door and offers a wonderful retreat.
Open-Plan Living Room and Kitchen
The undeniable centrepiece of the home is the stunning open-plan living space. The original kitchen was significantly extended to include two seating areas and a dining space. Full-length glazed panels, sliding doors, and bi-fold doors open onto the garden and raised deck at the rear of the home, perfectly framing views of the open countryside. Additional windows to the side and front ensure natural light throughout the day. The floor is tiled and incorporates a mixture of wet and electric underfloor heating, with a wood-burning stove providing additional warmth on cooler days. The room also benefits from recessed LED lighting in the ceiling and along the edge of the sunken seating area, as well as a built-in media wall with space for a wall-mounted television.
The kitchen is positioned at the entrance to the space and is impressive in its own right. Supplied and fitted by the German company Kutchen Haus, it offers an impeccably finished workspace. The kitchen includes a full range of fitted appliances, including a Neff oven, separate Neff air fryer/microwave, induction hob with built-in extractor fan, and an instant boiling water tap. This remarkable space forms a wonderful hub for family life.
