This light and airy space has a polished stone fireplace, black hearth and multi-burner.

Adjoining it is the spacious kitchen/breakfast room that's undoubtedly the heart of the home and a wonderful location for family life and entertaining. A west-facing picture window and charming bay window flood this area with light and the ceramic tile floor is durable and elegant.

The self-contained annexe, which has a similar appearance to the main house, has a ground floor kitchen/living room with a WC and shower and a large first floor bedroom.
