An exceptionally appealing and high quality kitchen, with an entranceway to the second living room and double doors to the living area, consequently ideally positioned as the 'hub' of the home with quality beech-fronted units with extensive granite worksurfaces over various cupboards and drawers below and additional units above. Two double glazed timber windows overlook the rear garden with deep slate sills.
