Classic Urban Home

This modern but classic bespoke three storey dwelling makes the best use of space in a limited city centre site. Clean design and neutral colours, throughout link the more traditional classic frontage with a modern rear elevation. This family home respects the existing building line of the street and local scale, integrating with the adjacent properties while projecting an attractive elegant façade. The house has a feature curved bay to the front with a gable entrance. The house has a painted smooth render finish, timber sliding sash windows to the front and contemporary aluminium sliding doors to the rear. The living areas of the house appear generous, belying the compact floor plan, the Drawing Room (with circular bay) and Study to the front have a classic / cosy feel. While to the rear of the house, hidden from the public street, the Kitchen / Living / Dining has a light, modern airy interior and a large expanse of glazed sliding doors . These open up to a surprisingly spacious garden which in itself overlooks a mature park giving the impression of a huge landscape.

The interiors have been finished to a very high standard, with a luxurious touch. The central elliptical staircase is a grand statement, with central rooflight bringing natural light down into the heart of the house.
