The Living Space

This extension is a great addition to an already generous property and allows the living spaces to be versatile with plenty of room for the whole family.

A stylish cladded wall within the dining area adds a splash of contrast to the otherwise fresh white walls, and the modern kitchen units continue the fresh, light design with a contrasting wood-effect worktop. Integrated appliances within the kitchen include a dishwasher, sink with drainer and chrome swan neck mixer tap, fridge, freezer, oven, grill, four plate gas hob with extractor, and in the adjacent utility there is additional storage and worktop space plus plumbing for the washer/dryer. Another practical feature in this part of the home is the downstairs WC, a staple for modern life, which is also finished to stylish contemporary standards.

To the front of the home are two more rooms that add versatility to the living space, both with bay windows and lovely scenic views to the front. The front lounge with trendy wall panelling provides a more cosy lounge area to unwind in the evenings, and the room on the opposite side of the hallway provides a great spot for a spacious study, ideal for those who work from home, or alternatively would be a handy playroom for the kids!

From the central hallway, the feature staircase with more trendy wall panelling invites you upstairs to a generous gallery landing connecting the bedrooms and bathrooms...
