Continue through to the utility room, harmonising effortlessly with the kitchen in its cabinetry, which opens to reveal plumbing for a washer and dryer. Off this room there is also an accessible downstairs lavatory, with wide doorway and vanity unit wash basin.
Panoramic Views
Returning to the kitchen, where warmth emanates from a living flame gas fire, savour the views from the orangery at the rear. The perfect space in which to relax and unwind with a book or mingle with friends over fizz and canapes, this serene room frames sublime views out over Rutland Water from its elevated vantage point, through bi-folding glass doors.
