Beyond the drawing room is where the kitchen is which is well equipped with a central work island and oil-fired Aga. Also on the ground floor is the secondary kitchen and utility room. The stairs next to the kitchen lead down to the vast cellar, that provides extremely versatile space with the possibility to extend the property massively.
