There is ample space for an 8-10 seat dining table in front of the fireplace with an inset woodburning stove.
A step up brings you to the striking extended kitchen/breakfast/living room with views of the rear garden and doors out to a cottage courtyard garden at the front. The bespoke handmade and hand painted Shaker style kitchen was installed by Stonehouse Kitchens as part of the refurbishment works and features a central island with a breakfast bar joined to provide the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee in a space flooded with natural light.
