Living & Dining area on Open Plan to Kitchen & Breakfast Area

The heart of the home has to be the fabulous contemporary Living & Dining Area, which is on open plan to the Kitchen & Breakfast Area. Measuring approximately 5.81 meters (19.0 feet) wide x 5.14 meters (16.7 feet) long in the Living & Dining Area, extending to 8.52 meters (28.0 feet) into the Kitchen Area.

The entire area, with ‘surprisingly’ high ceilings and the modern open plan design, creates a very airy and spacious feel. The large double south facing window allows plenty of natural daylight to enter into the room and a large double window in the Kitchen also allows additional light to enter from the north. The living area window has been dressed with a sophisticated black Vertical Blind, giving you full control over privacy and the amount of light entering the room.

The space has been painted with a mixture of high quality Crown and Dulux Emulsion and Satinwood paints, in a high contrasting palette of white, grey and black, along with small accents picked out in a velvety deep red, all of which create a nice contemporary look.

The west wall features the original victorian wooden tongued and grooved cladding, which has been exposed and then painted with a contrasting neutral grey emulsion. This serves as an excellent backdrop for the beautifully restored victorian staircase, complete with ‘authentic’ cast iron balusters. The staircase has been carpeted in order to provide safety and noise insulation, however, should the new owner wish to do so, this could easily be removed to expose the stair treads and risers, which have been painstakingly stripped back and re-primed.

It’s fair to say that no expense has been spared on the fixtures and fittings and the entire area has been floored with a high quality, Engineered, Hand Scraped, Matt Lacquered, Oak Floor. This has been laid on top of high performance 5mm XPS Foam Underlay Boards, which provide High Thermal Insulation (0.024 W/mk) and excellent Noise Insulation (20 dB certified) qualities.

One of the most striking features, adding ‘real’ character to the property, has to be the traditional ‘Oxford’ Cast Iron Radiator. The Radiator comes in a lovely ‘Antiqued Pewter’ finish and the look is completed with beautiful polished Brass Valves. Given the Radiator is quoted to be rated at approximately 8,905 BTUs, or, 2,610 Watts, you are sure to keep warm and cozy in the colder winter months.

Attention has been paid to every minor detail and this is evident throughout, from the various brushed steel sockets, light switches and tv point to the art deco, ‘cinema style’ wall lights, trendy drum pendant ceiling lights mounted on ornate ceiling roses and the contrasting blinds, all of which are included in the sale.

Additional bonuses are the large wall mounted 50" Sony Bravia Flat Screen TV and the classically styled, coordinating grey Leather Three Seater Sofa, both of which are also included in the sale.
