A further door with attractive stained glass and leaded panel opens into the music room, with exposed beams, from where folding glass doors open into the light garden room with trifold hardwood glazed doors leading out to the decking area. A ledge and brace door leads from the garden room into the utility room with tiled floor, exposed timbers, sink unit and ample space for washing machine, tumble dryer and other appliances.
