The heart of the home is formed by an impressive ground floor extension, incorporating a beautifully appointed open-plan dining kitchen with central island. Bathed in natural light from twin Velux windows and French doors opening onto the courtyard, this space is perfectly designed for both everyday living and entertaining.

The lower ground floor offers exceptional versatility, comprising a spacious sitting room or occasional bedroom, a well-proportioned utility room, a substantial storage cupboard and a convenient W.C. - ideal for guests, older children, or home working.
