Imported Italian tiles are used extensively throughout the home and its bathrooms, creating a consistent sense of quality and sophistication.

A central breakfast area makes it ideal for informal family meals. The kitchen is supported by a separate scullery with a double-basin wash-up area and dishwasher connection, a walk-in pantry, and a further dedicated laundry with connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
