Wander through to the open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining area – a welcoming, beautifully finished space. Floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors flood the lodge with natural light, while the large corner sofa invites you to sink in, switch on the wood burner-effect electric fire and enjoy uninterrupted woodland views. A Smart TV with PS4, offers games, movies and catch-up TV at your fingertips. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, complete with shaker units, quartz worktops and a solid wood breakfast bar.
