Ground floor

Entrance hall: The entrance hall makes an immediate impression and is considerably more substantial than a conventional hallway, extending through the centre of the house and providing an attractive visual link between the principal ground-floor rooms.

Kitchen / living / dining room: This exceptionally spacious open-plan room forms the heart of the house and is one of its most impressive features.
Large-format tiled flooring runs throughout, helping unify the different areas, while bond street blue walls, crisp white ceilings, decorative cornicing and broad ceiling beams create a strong sense of character.
The large central island provides further storage and workspace together with informal seating, while an additional peninsula adds yet more usable surface area.
A bank of full-height cabinetry incorporates integrated appliances, supplemented by substantial refrigeration and cooking facilities. Pale composite worktops contrast effectively with the darker island cabinetry.

There is sufficient room for a large circular dining table together with a complete sitting arrangement of sofas and armchairs, demonstrating just how substantial the overall space is.
Glazed doors open directly onto the garden, with further windows introducing natural light from several directions. Decorative wall panelling and contemporary column radiators add to the detailing.
A large suspended foliage arrangement above the dining table creates a dramatic focal point and reinforces the characterful nature of the interior.

Living room: The room is well proportioned and comfortably accommodates several sofas and armchairs while retaining a generous sense of space. Deep bond street blue walls create a sophisticated backdrop, complemented by neutral carpeting and recessed ceiling lighting.
A freestanding wood-burning stove forms an attractive focal point, while extensive glazing introduces excellent natural light. French doors provide direct access to the garden, reinforcing the relationship between the interior and outside space.
The scale and more enclosed nature of the room make it particularly well suited to evening use, television and relaxed family living.

Utility room: A particularly generous utility room fitted with an extensive range of pale Shaker-style cabinetry together with solid timber work surfaces.
There is space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer beneath the worktop, together with excellent full-height storage. Further fitted cupboards and additional appliance space make the room exceptionally practical.

Shower room: A smart ground-floor shower room finished with white metro tiles and coordinating tiled flooring.
The suite includes a glazed shower enclosure, WC and rectangular wash basin set into a dark vanity unit. A traditional-style column radiator with chrome towel rail provides both heating and useful towel storage.

Downstairs WC: Positioned conveniently off the hall, the separate cloakroom provides an additional WC and wash-hand basin, particularly useful when entertaining.
First floor

Principal bedroom: A particularly spacious principal bedroom offering excellent proportions and plenty of room for a substantial bed together with dressing and occasional furniture.
One wall is finished in an attractive botanical-patterned wallpaper, while the remaining décor is kept deliberately softer and more neutral. Large windows provide good natural light and are dressed with patterned curtains.

Despite its relatively compact footprint, the careful layout and full-height tiling give the room a smart, luxurious finish.

Bedroom 3: Another excellent double bedroom, comfortably large enough for a substantial bed together with bedside furniture and a dressing or seating area.
The room has a calm, neutral decorative scheme with soft carpeting and good natural light from the window. The room has a quieter character than some of the more strongly decorated spaces elsewhere in the house and would make an attractive guest or family bedroom.
En-suite shower room: A third particularly smart first-floor en-suite, finished extensively in dark marble tiling.
The suite comprises a generously sized glazed shower enclosure with rainfall shower, wall-hung WC and substantial contemporary vanity unit with broad wash basin.
A window provides natural light, while recessed ceiling lighting and chrome fittings complete the contemporary appearance.

Bedroom 5 / gym: Currently fitted out as a home gym, this is a valuable and highly versatile additional room.
The space presently accommodates a treadmill, rowing machine, free weights and other fitness equipment, with a large wall mirror increasing the sense of space. Specialist protective flooring has been installed beneath the equipment.
Its proportions would allow straightforward use as a fifth bedroom, home office, playroom or hobby room if preferred, giving the house considerable flexibility.

Family bathroom: A particularly impressive family bathroom finished to a high contemporary standard.
Deep green marble wall tiling provides a dramatic backdrop, contrasted by a white tiled floor and a freestanding rectangular bath positioned beneath the window.

The room is unusually spacious and offers the proportions and finish expected of a principal bathroom rather than a secondary facility.

Detached garden office / studio: This is an excellent addition for anyone working from home, providing a dedicated workspace physically separated from the principal accommodation. The room currently accommodates a large desk, extensive shelving and storage while retaining good circulation space.
