Park Gate, Elham

The heart of the ground floor is the superb, open-plan kitchen, breakfast and family room, with its stylish, modern, bespoke kitchen with low-level lighting and ample Shaker-style and wooden units, together with a range cooker. Double doors lead from the family room to the sunny conservatory with amazing views. French doors from here open to the gardens.

Two of the three further bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes, while the first floor also has a family bathroom.
