We’re huge fans; this is why…

First impressions count. The verandah entrance is greatfor sitting outside if there is a spot of rain in the air and leadsinto a good-sized staircase hall. The glass balustrade staircase isopen and airy and leads to a generous landing. Roomycirculation space is much admired and gives a great sense ofopenness.

Central to the layout is a fabulous, sociable open planliving/dining kitchen, flexible as to how furniture could bearranged but space to create distinct seating and dining areas.The kitchen is fitted with painted units; there’s a matchingdresser, larder unit and breakfast table with wooden worktops. There’s a double pot sink, Smeg range and integraldishwasher.

The living and dining spaces have floor to ceiling windows andglazed sliding doors which open onto the seating terrace at theback of the house providing an additional ‘room’ withindoor/outdoor living during the warmer months - it’s theperfect entertaining space. Linking to this outside area is afurther door from the sitting room with floor to ceilingwindows on three sides and a wood burner, it’s a great space.

Off the kitchen is a laundry/utility room with doors to theverandah and into the garage so you can park up and get insideall undercover.

Adding flexibility to the bedroom arrangement is a groundfloor fourth double bedroom and a shower room. Setaway from the other bedrooms it is great for guests, a noisyteenager or perhaps an older relative. It would also make agood home office.
