A versatile fitted Rangemaster cooker also provides a attractive focal point. Both the breakfast bar and mid level built in larder unit, further compliment the overal impressive design of the kitchen space. The sitting room benefits from both a dual aspect and panoramic styled log burner, fitted in the feature fireplace.
