Multi-pane double doors similarly connect the dining space with a superbly proportioned sitting room, complete with fireplace and attractive bay with garden access.
A light, bright and well-proportioned room with an outlook to the front has been utilised as a supplementary reception room, latterly as a bedroom, given the convenience of the modern shower room positioned just across the hall.
