Extremely well equipped the kitchen area has a dual fuel range cooker, instant boiling water tap on the island unit, integrated appliances including a dishwasher and fridge/freezer. From the lounge area is a bespoke staircase with treads made from the church, original seating leads to a mezzanine level which has some of the best views in the house.
