The flooring in the kitchen is cork which then changes to the original exposed Maple wood floorboards in the living/dining area. There is plenty of space here for entertaining and there is even a discreet bar area with a 48 bottle wine fridge at the end of the kitchen cupboards. At the far end of the room are large floor to ceiling sliding doors that frame the garden beautifully.
