Integrated appliances include an electric aga, a drinks fridge, Miele combination oven and microwave, two Neff dishwashers and Fisher & Pykal American style fridge freezer. A stable door opens out to a kitchen garden and terrace, whilst a glazed link provides a breakfast area, and connects the original house with the new.
