The finished ground floor extension with its generous open plan kitchen and dining space. The house connects to the rear outside in a straight axis of movement from the existing main house through the former side return area with a row of roof lights above and a generous garden door. Located at the far side along that line is the functional kitchen storage wall that incorporates a small study. A freestanding kitchen island with a marble worktop faces the dining area in the centre of the room. Closest and strongly related to the exterior and garden is the sitting and tv area with exposed brick walls and a large frameless window over a long L-shaped seating bench.
