To either side of the chimney breast are built-in full height units with cupboards below an open shelf and long glass-fronted display cabinets with 5 fitted shelves above. Due to the open plan nature of the Kitchen and Orangery offering a modern and more informal dining space, the traditional formal Dining Room may as easily serve as a Sitting, Music Room or Library.

Kitchen – The Kitchen is fully fitted in an array of units from the luxury German brand SieMatic, finished with seamless countertops and edged with hard-wearing stainless steel. Integrated are Siemens oven, steamer and coffee maker with units below housing integrated fridge and freezer with a central pantry cupboard.

The peninsula unit has wide Induction hob with stainless steel cube extraction hood above and a range of storage; deep pan drawers with top cutlery compartment and additional cupboards and drawers to the far side. Concealed behind a chalkboard frame for household notes lies the manifold controlling the underfloor heating of the Orangery.

Orangery – Sharing the same Mandarin Stone granite flooring as the Kitchen and matched by the external version of dramatic dark stone laid throughout the Courtyard, the Orangery commissioned from Apropos benefits from a visually seamless transition between indoor and out. With glass lantern to the roof and bi-fold doors composing an entire wall, the exciting light-filled space offers great malleability, providing ample dining space alongside family living and play.
