Across the hallway your bedroom's a 120 square foot double, with another tower radiator and leafy green views.
Elsewhere, your kitchen is laid handily open to the lounge, with striking geometric tilework underfoot. Glossy, smooth and seamless cabinets sit above and below solid white countertops, featuring an integrated stainless steel oven with matching extractor and splashback. Finally your bathroom's just as impressive, with floor to ceiling metro tiles and oversized chrome heated towel rail
