This wonderful space flows seamlessly to the outdoors via two sets of bi-folding doors, opening onto the patio with far-reaching views across the private paddock and Skipwith Common beyond.
The kitchen design offers a striking contrast of colours, with sleek dark blue cabinetry paired with a light grey island, all finished with elegant Dekton work surfaces.

To the opposite side of the kitchen units lies a highly versatile area, thoughtfully designed to complement the open-plan layout. This flexible space offers endless possibilities, whether utilised as an informal seating area, a cosy family snug, or even a relaxed dining zone.
