The open-plan kitchen-dining and living area. A set of steps takes you down to a large, open-plan kitchen, living-diner, a sizeable space that spans the width of the property and feels even loftier thanks to its vaulted, timber-clad, ceiling. Between the drawing room and the kitchen is a guest wc, separate shower room, where glass blocks face out to the hall and a second sitting room. This snug space, which has a far lower ceiling height, does not have a window but rather glass blocks bringing light into the internal space from the kitchen. From the kitchen, large sliding glass doors open out to the garden which, while northeast facing, gets good light for much of the day as the surrounding properties are all low-build so there is little overshadowing.
