Murray Street, Southville

“We wanted to create a home that feels modern and considered, while still being warm and easy to live in. Natural light was a big part of the design, from the vaulted ceilings and rooflights upstairs to the large bi-fold doors connecting the living space with the garden. Every part of the house has been carefully thought through to make the most of the space, and we’re really proud of the finished home.”

The Home

A striking, newly finished home tucked away on Murray Street, where a timber-clad exterior gives way to a bright and beautifully considered interior. Arranged over two floors, the house has been designed to make the most of natural light, with vaulted ceilings, rooflights and a pared-back finish throughout.

The ground floor centres around a generous open-plan kitchen and living space, with a sleek white kitchen sitting neatly to one side. Two large rooflights flood the room with light, while full-width bi-fold doors open the back of the house almost entirely onto the courtyard creating a brilliant indoor/outdoor space in the warmer months.

At the front is a separate study, providing a dedicated spot to work from home without sacrificing a bedroom, alongside a handy downstairs WC.

Two double bedrooms sit beneath the pitched roofline, giving both rooms a lovely sense of height and character. Rooflights bring in plenty of natural light, while the neutral finish leaves an easy blank canvas for the next owner.

The bathroom has a clean, contemporary feel, with timber-fronted vanity storage and black fittings, alongside a bath with shower above.

Outside

Bi-fold doors lead directly onto a private, enclosed rear garden, with decking immediately outside the house and an easy-to-maintain lawn beyond. It’s a simple but really usable outside space, particularly given how seamlessly it connects with the main living area.
