This room is open to the dining room, which features a second fireplace with a useful study nook tucked beneath the stairs, the original Victorian rooms retaining plenty of character throughout. To the rear, a clever extension has create a sociable 16’ live in kitchen/family room that is now de rigueur for modern family living, with French doors opening to the garden and room for both dining and a sitting area, fitted with shaker-style cabinetry, beech worktops and a ceramic sink. A utility room and shower room complete the ground floor.
