Discover the detail and thought that goes into reimagining the Oporto
The Oporto is a three storey, four bedroom detached home, designed to suit busy modern lifestyles as well as providing the perfect backdrop to relaxing family weekends. Its spacious, light filled lounge can easily accommodate a large corner sofa, making it the ideal spot for unwinding after work, catching up with friends or getting together as a family.
The open plan kitchen and dining area has been placed at the back of the home, with French doors leading out onto the garden. Whether it’s a quick sandwich at the sun-drenched table, or a cosy evening in cooking and chatting, this beautifully designed space can be as peaceful or as sociable as you’d like it to be.
The ground floor also has a cloakroom and large storage cupboard, ideal for coats, boots, vacuums and clutter. Upstairs, there’s even more storage space, along with a single and two double bedrooms, and a family bathroom with a full size bath and natural light from its front aspect window.
Whether you need a place for teenagers to call their own, room to host overnight guests, or a spacious office, the first floor makes it easy to create the home that works for you. Climbing the stairs to the second floor you’ll find a stunning loft-style master bedroom suite, with dressing area and high specification ensuite shower room, flooded with light by its unique quadruple roof light feature.
Whether you’re getting ready for work with a refreshing shower and carefully chosen outfit from your fitted wardrobe, or revelling in a rare lie in, this room will make starting every day a pleasure.
