Neutral white tones, wooden flooring and natural wood finishings throughout add to the room’s inviting feel, while a built-in storage section ensures practicality. There’s ample space for a dining table, perfect for family meals or entertaining guests.

Off the dining area, a beautifully styled bathroom awaits. At its heart is a freestanding roll-top bath with traditional centre taps, ideal for relaxing soaks after a long day. The separate shower cubicle provides a convenient option for quick, refreshing showers, catering perfectly to busy mornings and households.

Next to the bathroom, a separate toilet room, with a toilet and sink, features sleek grey tones. This thoughtful layout maximises comfort and convenience for family life or hosting guests.

Stepping down from the dining room, you’ll find a stunning kitchen that combines traditional style with modern touches. White cabinets with solid wood worktops are paired with a porcelain Belfast sink, creating a timeless aesthetic. A central island provides additional workspace and casual seating, while the fireplace, with its wood-burning stove, adds character. Striking grey and white patterned tiles around the worktops and ceiling spotlights complete the room’s chic design.
