Extending to over 20 feet in length and superbly designed to accommodate everyday family life, this impressive space benefits from a vast array of windows, which serve to frame the views across the landscaped garden and paddock beyond. Boasting a comprehensive range of bespoke Shaker style cabinetry with granite work surfaces over, the kitchen encompasses quality integrated appliances to include a twin oven oil-fired AGA, Miele dishwasher and Neff induction hob/electric fan oven with fitted extractor over.
