The kitchen is adjacent to the dining area, which contains a huge dining table capable of seating 10 comfortably. A utility area adjoins the other end of the kitchen and contains newly installed washing machine and tumble dryer.

 

The comfortable sitting room has a large wood-burning stove and also a 49 inch 4k HD Internet TV with access to Netflix, Amazon, and BBC I player etc for warm and cosy nights in.
