Sleekly styled in anthracite grey handleless cabinets, there is a profusion of storage available for all your culinary essentials. To the side, the undermounted sink and Kenwood dishwasher are nestled together, alongside a bank of integrated bins.

As throughout the home, comfort and convenience lie at the heart of the kitchen design; an induction hob is set within the iridescent white granite worktops, sociably positioned looking out towards the entertaining part of the room. An integrated extractor fan within the hob extricates aromas and vapour down without the intrusion of an overhead hood.

Across onto the central island, which serves also as a sociable breakfast bar, a drinks chiller is conveniently situated beneath, alongside wine racks flanking a wine cooler, with stools to both sides for maximum space.

Blurring boundaries between the indoors and out, enjoy the ultimate free flow for parties and summer gatherings. Dine beneath the large roof lantern, where natural light pours down, or slip out to the garden to enjoy your supper alfresco.

Flow round from the dining area into the semi-open plan lounge. The perfect cinema room, plush grey carpet denotes the transition to rest and relaxation as you snuggle up for movie night. Spotlighting overhead is controllable through the Aurora app, whilst natural light, flowing in through the bay window to the front, can be modified by manual manipulation of the fitted plantation shutters.

A large television is fitted to one wall with ample space for the pool table. A secure, key coded door also provides direct access through to the garage.

Out of this bedroom, turn left, where a second double bedroom is similarly styled in shades of grey and white and also contains a built-in wardrobe and a large window framing views out over the garden to the rear.

Next door, a third double bedroom follows the motif of fresh white and soothing grey tones; with ample space for drawers and bedside tables this bedroom overlooks the quiet neighbourhood to the front.
