The kitchen is arranged around a central island, allowing for both everyday use and more social occasions, with the dining area positioned to overlook the garden. A separate family room offers flexibility depending on requirements, whether as a playroom, second sitting room or workspace. A utility room and cloakroom sit alongside, adding practical support.
