The home's façade combines black cladding with beige-painted walls, creating a bold yet elegant aesthetic. Side entrances, secured with gates, provide access to the back garden.

The family bathroom, designed in the same chic style as the others, includes a bath, while the principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room.

Every element of this home has been carefully thought through, from the strategic placement of sockets to the use of frosted glass for privacy. Large windows maximise the natural light and stunning views, while striking black internal doors echo the black cladding outside. Matching black handles and fixtures create a seamless design throughout. Plush beige carpets feature in the bedrooms and living room, while resin flooring flows through the hallway and kitchen, adding a contemporary touch.
