A rear lobby has a cloakroom off and a door to the parking area and also round to a very private terraced part of the garden situated to the front of the garage building. The kitchen then opens into a dining area which is open plan with a lovely bright sitting area/garden room with a panelled study off and a door to the rear terrace.
