Entrance – An impeccable welcome

Inside Viewfield, you are greeted by a vestibule flowing into a reception hall with two built-in cupboards. It is an impeccable welcome heightened by the crisp white décor and wood-style floor (found throughout much of the home).

Reception rooms – A haven of comfort

The living room is a haven of comfort, with its expansive footprint accommodating a wide choice of furnishings. It continues the hall’s neutral décor and wood-textured floor for a minimalist-inspired style that is instantly inviting. A modern log-burning stove adds a cosy focal point to the space, whilst a box bay window captures lots of natural light and uninterrupted views over the countryside to rolling hills.

Double doors lead from here into a spacious dining room, creating the ideal setup for entertaining family and friends. This additional reception space is perfect for dinner parties, and, for summer barbecues, it extends out into the rear garden via French doors. Enjoying a chic aesthetic, it is decorated in a striking blue tone and with feature accent wallpaper, enhancing a lively atmosphere.

Kitchen – A beautiful kitchen with a central island

Arranged around a central island that doubles as a breakfast bar, the dual-aspect kitchen has a beautiful design that is generously appointed. It has a wealth of Shaker-style cabinets in white topped with chunky wood-toned worktops which add a lovely contrast to the colour palette. There is direct access to the driveway and a selection of appliances are also included (electric range cooker, American-style fridge/freezer, microwave, integrated dishwasher, and integrated washing machine).
