Dark wood flooring throughout enriches and adds warmth while the cool white kitchen units combine with stone work tops to provide a juxtaposed coolness.

The well-appointed kitchen with its clean lines and minimal aesthetic keeps this space very light, clean and airy. A central island with integrated hob anchors the space, while separate double ovens and essential integrated appliances provide everything the keen chef would need to cook up a storm.
