About the Home The Philosopher is a 4-bedroom home, thoughtfully designed to meet the practical needs of contemporary family lifestyles. There is a carefully-considered balance between shared, social areas and private space, an appealing feature for families with older children and teenagers, or with members regularly working from home.
The home’s focal point is its open-plan kitchen, dining and family area, a substantial and informal space that will bring the household together to cook, eat and relax. French doors in the dining area open onto the rear garden, a welcome design touch for sunny summer days, and there is plenty of space within the layout for a large dining table, plus a sofa or two to create an inviting snug.
A separate utility room leads off the kitchen, providing a dedicated space for laundry, and keeping cleaning products and equipment organised. The utility room also has a door to the outside, convenient for laundry days, or for taking care of muddy dog paws after a walk.
The cosy yet bright living room is situated at the front of the home, and across the hallway is the study, which will make a peaceful home office. The cloakroom is also conveniently accessible from the hallway, as is the understairs storage cupboard, useful for coats, shoes and keeping bulky appliances out of sight.
Upstairs are all four bedrooms, the first of which benefits from an en-suite shower room. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are also double in size, and along with bedroom 4, share use of the family bathroom. The fourth bedroom would be ideal for a nursery or younger child, or to be used as an occasional guest bedroom. Completing the first floor is a storage cupboard on the landing, which will come in handy for the household’s towels and bed linens.
