This space could easily be used as a further reception room and leads through to the hub of the house, a superb part vaulted kitchen/dining/family room, with porcelain tiled flooring extending to the outside terrace. Wide glazed sliding doors open on to the terrace, affording an ideal inside/outside entertaining space with two ceiling lanterns flooding the room with natural light.
