The kitchen benefits from an integrated double oven with separate gas hob with extractor hood, and fridge. An attractive bay window, overlooking the garden, and a roof lantern provide lots of natural light for this open plan space.
A separate, formal dining room with beautiful original floorboards is also accessed off the sitting room and features an original sash window. This room has scope for a variety of other uses, such as a snug/tv room, children's playroom, or home office.
