The kitchen is modern and well laid out, fitted with a range of wall and base units, integrated oven, and solid ash worktops.

Renovation Highlights

In recent years, Ellangowan has been significantly upgraded. All external walls were stripped back to the brick and relined with Kingspan insulation. A new gas fired boiler and radiators were installed, and both the wastewater and rainwater systems were fully renewed. The roof was also replaced, with new lead-work and Velux windows fitted at the same time. The house has also been fully re-wired. This is a few of the main things which have been done off a longer list of the renovation at Ellangowan.
