The classic twist Miller Homes has considered in selecting the finishings in this home is to provide a perfect balance between traditional values and styles and quality new build homes.

The hallway leads to the integral garage, cloakroom and family room. The cloakroom is finished with contemporary white sanitaryware and stylish wall and floor tiles.

The family room feels sumptuous and features a double aspect with a walk-out balcony and separate patio doors, underlining the sense of space and light. This flexible room can be used as a fourth bedroom and has ample storage built-in. Also on the ground floor is the laundry room featuring glossy, graphic polished grey tiles on the floor.

The bright, open staircase leads up to the first floor where the large south-facing living room benefits from a walk-out balcony and is flooded with natural daylight. Families also benefit from Sky+ connectivity, which is installed as standard in the living room.

The property features a high-spec designer kitchen. There is a black and white theme with white high-gloss units and dark corian worktops and the kitchen floor is tiled with stunning black granite – a true indulgence.

Contemporary lighting, including recessed downlighters, provide a stylish look to a practical kitchen that any family would enjoy cooking in.

The black and white theme continues into the dramatic dining room. This room is tiled with large, contemporary, black and white floor tiles, reaffirming that this is a home of the highest quality, combining practicality with luxury to make it stand out from the crowd. With double aspect windows, the dining room is flooded with natural light. Sliding doors into the kitchen give the choice of having family time or adult living.

A large walk-in wardrobe gives a sense of how much space the Heriot has to offer. The en-suite shower room is finished with classic smooth cream ‘cube polished’ Porcelanosa tiles to the floor and walls. A further good-sized bedroom is stylishly finished in cream tones with storage. The final room on this landing is ideal as a nursery, playroom, hobby room or study with built in storage.

The family bathroom features a contemporary white suite, complemented by chrome taps and stylish polished dark grey Porcelanosa wall and floor tiles. This bathroom is very spacious and the classic grey tiling has been further enhanced with the addition of square-edged chrome trim, reflecting the attention to detail evident throughout this home. There’s also the wonderful added advantage of a bath and separate shower, essential for most families.
