A wonderful space for the family to gather for breakfast around the table while the food is prepared on the Aga. The kitchen is well appointed offering a range of base level cupboards with work tops and free-standing furniture. The dual aspect windows offer views over the garden and a thumb latch stable door leads you outside. At the rear of the kitchen is a pantry cupboard to provide further storage.

Grounds - From the country lane, a five-bar gate leads you into the sweeping gravel driveway which is lined with mature trees. The formal gardens which surround the property have been beautifully curated by the owners to incorporate a sunken garden and many areas for seating to appreciate the tranquil setting.
