The 25' bespoke kitchen/family room with mains gas fired Aga is an exceptional room with great care taken to create an ergonomic space for the chef whilst retaining ample room for entertaining and casual dining, the dual aspect windows provide a fine outlook over the gardens and the high ceiling only serves to enhance this fabulous room.
