An inner hallway provides space for coat storage and leads to the kitchen which is fitted with wall and base units with complementary work surfaces incorporating a stainless steel sink and drainer unit. The bedroom is bright and airy with light flooding in from the Velux, and also benefits from having an integrated wardrobe and contemporary wash hand basin set above a drawer unit.
