Bright and uplifting, the open-plan kitchen, living and dining room sets the tone for the rest of the house. White walls and wooden floors provide a blank canvas for design touches – from sculptural lighting to a striking feature fireplace. Eyes are immediately drawn to the standout kitchen. Finished in Italian marble, its ergonomic layout and high-spec Miele and Siemens appliances will suit the most sociable and serious of cooks. For hosting, a more formal dining space features a six-seater glass-topped table. Or kick back in the tub armchairs and large L-shaped sofa after a long day of sightseeing; numerous sash windows bathe the room in natural light.
Capitalising on its second-floor vantage point, find a cosy TV den at the top of the home. With its contemporary fireplace and French doors out to a sizeable terrace, it’s a space for all seasons. Mix a drink at the bar area – complete with wine fridge – and turn up the Devialet sound system. The perfect way to unwind after catching up on emails in the adjoining study.
