Brand new to the house is a nice entrance hall on the front of the property.  You enter through a very wide (1.3metres) entrance door – one of these highly insulated German engineered things… it has no conventional hinges but instead a pivot.  The little slit of a window acts as a concealed grip handle on the outside… which illuminates at night!!

Inside you are immediately struck by the warm applewood floor, and it’s very light – illumination by two computer controlled Velux windows in the gable roof overhead.

Pretty pleased that the lines in this door and side windows matches well with the lines in the internal oak doors … and feature in the skirtings!  That little black thing on the door is actually like a little iPhone to let you view who is outside.

View through to the dining room (double doors). The old cloakroom is behind that door on the left.

Our shoe bench – now a prized acquisition!
