Double casement doors open from the kitchen directly into a garden, containing gravelled paths that meander between beds of flowering shrubs and trees. Adjacent to the kitchen, there is a useful utility room, with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a double stainless steel sink unit, further storage cupboards, work-tops and open shelving to accommodate home-made produce.
