Area of Reception
Potential purchasers will notice a number of original characteristics as soon as they walk in, including partially exposed brickwork, exposed timber floorboards, vertical timers, and a pane-borrowed light window that leads to the kitchen/dining room.
The Laskowski team regarded the sitting room as ‘particularly bright’ and well-proportioned, with plenty of natural light coming from a walk-in recess and a multi-pane sash window with a three-quarter height plantation shutter.
The sitting room also has a wood-burning fireplace on a wide slate hearth with a mantel and oak surround.
The kitchen’s six-pane recessed rear door that opens onto a private courtyard and its four-pane sash window let in plenty of natural light.
With its one-and-a-half-bowl ceramic sink and oak worktops, the L-shaped design is both stylish and functional. Integrated into the design are appliances such as a tall refrigerator-freezer, electric oven, dishwasher, and four-ring ceramic stove.
Additional workspace is provided by a central island with a breakfast bar and matching surface.
