Immediately to the left, the kitchen/diner is a lovely, light-filled space that’s been thoughtfully arranged for both practicality and comfort. The layout makes excellent use of the available space, with modern, gloss-finish units that wrap neatly around two walls to provide plenty of storage and worktop area.
