It is fitted with a range of natural wood Shaker style units consisting of floor cupboards, larder cupboard, separate drawer units and eye level cupboards.

The microwave is built in with storage cupboards above and there is an integrated dishwasher and fridge/freezer as well as a range style cooker with an extractor hood above plus a water softener. For practical reasons, the floor is tiled and this carries through into the study area, utility and garden room.

An arch from the kitchen opens to an adaptable space that is ideal as a study or work from home and has access to the utility room and double doors and steps down into a generously sized garden room with tri-folding doors out to the paved sun terrace.
