Hi, apologies for the slow reply... Yes that area is described as an "Open plan Kitchen/Dining area". We have them like that because they have been growing in popularity as opposed to separate rooms. Also allows access to the garden via the French Windows. Thanks for the visit!
With regard to the garden's, it's tricky...some people like minimal effort gardens and some like more. We can always discuss with a buyer further improvements once we know their individual tastes.
