This reception opens into the charming kitchen/breakfast room, benefitting from a dual aspect onto the rear gardens, tiled flooring and a gas fired AGA. The kitchen is served by the adjacent utility room. A further ground floor gymnasium/office could also be utilised as a sixth double bedroom due to its proximity to the cloakroom, which completes the ground floor accommodation.
