Beyond the kitchen, a downstairs WC incorporates a useful linen cupboard, while an additional storage cupboard offers further practicality. Continuing through the home, a spacious inner hallway leads to a dedicated office with built-in storage and delightful views across the surrounding fields.

The versatility of the ground floor continues with a room currently utilised as a playroom.
