The kitchen area is well-equipped with the electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and dishwasher. Maybe enjoy some seasonal produce from the gardens as part of your meal, whilst you enjoy a meal at the dining table perfectly positioned by the picture window to embrace the view over the garden and countryside. After a full day out relax in the lounge on the comfy sofa, plan your holiday activities, listen to music, watch a film on TV or lose yourself in a good book. Open the bi-folding doors to really let the outside in or for cosy nights in, light the wood burner and snuggle up on the sofa.
