The walk-in pantry and utility room keeps everything tidy and there is plenty of equipment for your group needs.
The morning room is ideal for sitting and chatting, reading and chilling and the Dining Room, seating 24, is perfect for a birthday dinner party or a more casual supper. Then perhaps, make the most of the games room for some healthy competition, or the sitting room, with its beautiful molded ceiling and far reaching views through the dual aspect windows.
