Entrance
You arrive at the property via the spacious driveway. The generous outdoor area immediately makes a great first impression. Although the house has an official front entrance, the everyday entrance is located at the side. Here, you step directly into the cozy kitchen-diner—the warm heart of the home.
Kitchen-Diner
The kitchen-diner exudes charm and perfectly complements the character of the house. The cherry wood worktop pairs beautifully with the light cream/white cabinet fronts, giving the kitchen a timeless, country-style look.
The spacious island, featuring a double sink, serves as the kitchen's focal point. There is also plenty of workspace and storage, thanks to numerous cabinets and a practical pull-out pantry unit. The kitchen is fully equipped with a 5-burner gas hob (including a wok burner), an oven, a dishwasher, and a large refrigerator with a freezer compartment.
Characteristic wooden beams add extra charm to the room. Abundant natural light streams in through the French doors and large windows, offering a view of the garden. The tiled floor features comfortable underfloor heating, supplemented by radiators.
Utility room
Adjoining the kitchen is the practical utility room. This space houses the connections for the washing machine and dryer, an additional sink, and the Intergas central heating boiler (CW5, 2020). The underfloor heating manifold is also located here.
From the utility room, you have direct access to both the large barn and the yard. Authentic stable-style windows give this room an atmospheric, country-style feel as well.
