The 2007 extension added the kitchen, which has Maia worktops, an electric Rangemaster oven, a five-ring induction hob and integrated Bosch appliances. It flows into the dining area and the bright sitting room, which has a log burner. The ground floor also has a utility room with direct garden access, a cloakroom and a wet-room style family bathroom.
