Inspired by the classical setting and beautiful views, the large doors and windows brighten and amplify the generous sense of space and a character, bringing the outside, in.

Exquisite textures bring this contemporary bespoke and sleek shaker kitchen to life, sectioned off by beautiful sliding doors. Stunning herringbone-laid flooring provides continuation with the living area, whilst smoky grey joinery with clean lines conceals state-of-the-art Miele appliances and wine cooler as well as the utility room which is tucked away on the side of the entrance with a separate washer and dryer Miele appliances and bespoke cabinetry.
