The kitchen also has low-level lighting around the kickboards, and delivers a great space for a family sized dining table. This is a great room, spacious and bright, and great for entertaining, opening out to the garden.
Another nice little feature is what was a storage area under the stairs which the owners have cleverly turned into a little office working station, which is ideal for a laptop or a desktop and can be hidden away when you’re not at work.
The separate utility is always an important space in the family house, set off the kitchen, having a number of storage units, work-surface, sink and drainer as well as plumbing and provisions for washing machines etcetera.
