From the driveway step into the rear entrance hall, leaving coats, muddy boots and wiping mucky paws. From here a door leads into the study which is an ideal spot for a bit of reading or perhaps catching up on emails. From the hall three steps lead up to the double aspect kitchen/dining room. Dine around the family sized table beside the window seat, underneath the exposed beams.
