The hallway leads you through to the bright and airy kitchen/diner with high ceilings and plenty of natural light flooding in whilst French doors lead out into the garden. The kitchen looks onto the garden and comes with everything you need to make a hearty meal after a day out walking and exploring, including an electric oven and hob, built-in microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine.
