Continuing down the hall, the 350-square-foot kitchen/diner seamlessly blends original architecture with modern elegance, featuring gleaming, glossy cabinets, high-end appliances, and a substantial kitchen island.
Moving further, a double-height orangery awaits, connecting the main house to the original outbuilding. Bathed in natural light and spanning 250 square feet, this space offers a bright retreat to enjoy the lush greenery of the gardens. The original kitchen courtyard and a 100-square-foot utility room provide additional practical spaces.

The grounds, spanning just under an acre, present a haven of seclusion, with high hedges, open country views, and a gate leading to Woburn woods. The property, accessed through electric gates, boasts ample parking on a gravel driveway and features beautiful landscaping, including patios for alfresco dining and entertaining.
