The principal ground floor rooms all sit off here, and each of them has a sliding glass door leading out onto the composite decked terrace overlooking the south-facing garden. The kitchen opens up to the adjacent family room which has a gas fire. The kitchen is fitted with appliances including an LG American style fridge freezer, Bosch dishwasher, Leisure range cooker (dual fuel), and there is a Quooker Cube tap. The kitchen units are fitted with quartz worktops, and the flooring is Travertine stone tiles which continue into the family room and connecting utility room. This is plumbed for laundry appliances, has a back door to the side of the house, coat cupboards and a WC. The sitting / dining room is a lovely bright living space thanks to windows on three aspects and a sliding glass door on the fourth. It has a gas fireplace with limestone mantlepiece.
