Take A Look Around

A bright entrance hall sets the scene, offering a wonderful first impression and two built-in cupboards. On the left is the living/dining room. Here, light olive tones and a laminate oak effect floor create an alluring space, while an oversized picture window ensures a cascade of natural light and a leafy backdrop to complement the decoration. Extending over 200 square feet, the large room readily accommodates a wide choice of furnishings. It also comes with a log-burning stove for added cosiness. Next door is an ultra-modern breakfasting kitchen, fitted with sleek, handle-less cabinetry and wooden worktops to mirror the oak-style floor.
