The front of the house accommodates a cosy living room, with a bay window, and restored feature fireplace. The extension to the rear houses the kitchen and a lovely open space for the dining table which centres on the patio doors to the garden. The kitchen embraces a simple layout with two side runs and a central, semi-portable island. Each element pops with a unique colour, creating a fun and energetic atmosphere without going overboard. Flanking either side are timber-framed glass doors, their deep amber hue casting a warm glow.
