The adjoining dining area offers plenty of space for a family sized dining table and chairs, making this a versatile space for both relaxed meals and entertaining guests. A particularly appealing feature is the set of bi-folding doors, which open directly onto the rear garden and create a seamless connection between the kitchen/diner and outside space.
