-[about your new home]-

Your new home on French Street has the familiar character of a traditional red-brick terrace, giving you a straightforward, low-maintenance frontage with the entrance opening directly from the pavement.

Stepping inside, the ground floor immediately feels more open than the traditional terraced frontage might suggest. Rather than dividing the main living accommodation into two smaller reception rooms, the space offers an open-plan living-dining room, giving you considerably more freedom over how you arrange it. There is plenty of room for your seating arrangement, television unit and additional furniture, while built-in cupboards around the chimney breast provide useful storage without encroaching too far into the floor space.

Beyond the main reception space is the separate kitchen. Its galley-style arrangement makes practical use of the room, with cabinetry and work surfaces running along both sides. The light, handleless units keep the finish simple, contrasted by dark worktops and a band of black tiling against the otherwise white tiled walls. The sink and drainer sit beneath the wide side-facing window, bringing plenty of daylight directly over the working area.

A door at the far end of the kitchen takes you into an additional rear room before you reach the outside. This is a particularly useful extra space that you do not always get with a terrace of this style. With windows across one side, a radiator and its own external door, it could work well as a utility or boot room, giving you somewhere to deal with coats, shoes, laundry equipment or everyday household storage away from the main living areas. It also creates a useful buffer between the kitchen and outside. Rather than opening directly from your cooking space, you have somewhere to come in from the rear, take off muddy shoes or store things you would rather not bring straight into the house.

Moving outside, the rear of the property takes a practical, low-maintenance approach. The yard is predominantly hard-surfaced, so there is very little upkeep required. Currently, the garage is used mainly for storage and as a practical work area. If you enjoy diy, maintain bikes or need somewhere for tools and equipment, you'll have plenty of storage here.

Heading upstairs, the first floor keeps things straightforward, with two good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom that is considerably larger than you might expect from a traditional terraced home.

The master bedroom gives you a generous amount of open floor space to work with. Its neutral décor and pale wood-effect flooring provide an easy starting point for your own furniture and colour scheme, while the window brings natural light into the room. There is plenty of scope for a bed alongside wardrobes, drawers, and additional bedroom furniture without compromising circulation space.

The second bedroom is another comfortable room and already benefits from built-in storage. Its neutral finish also means you can move in and personalise it gradually, rather than undertaking significant work immediately.

The bathroom is a particularly useful part of the upstairs layout. Rather than squeezing everything into a compact footprint, the suite has plenty of room around it. You have a bath with a shower above, alongside a separate pedestal wash basin and WC.

Blue walls, a contrasting dark panelled ceiling and wood-effect flooring give the room its own distinct character, but the predominantly simple white suite would also make it relatively easy to introduce your own decorative style in the future.
