The kitchen has a ceramic tiled floor which extends from the kitchen area through to the dining area and then into a sitting area which leads through to the swimming pool. From the dining and sitting areas, triple concertina doors open up onto a courtyard garden. Just off the kitchen is a very generous utility room.
