A huge, bright, and airy kitchen has everything needed for easy holiday living and entertaining. State-of-the-art appliances include a gas oven and stove, and dishwasher. A scullery houses a fridge/freezer, washing machine, and tumble dryer. A picnic-style table and benches provide a place to enjoy breakfast and easy meals. The kitchen has large windows that can be folded back to allow full views of the garden.
