Insulation levels were upgraded, so this 1970s-build now has a C1 Ber-rating and a subtle monochrome décor mood.

It has new flooring throughout and new bathrooms, delivering a home where you can simply unpack your bags and exhale.

It has off-street parking to the front and opens into a roomy hall, where a timber beam balustrade has been painted railings black.

The wall has been similarly treated to wainscot level, and there is a guest w.c under the stairs. A black and white herringbone-patterned stair runner adds polish.

The living room is at the front, its chimney breast and ceiling crowned in a shadow blue.

A large, framed mirror creates an optical illusion of greater depth of field and bounces light off every wall. Underfoot is a parquet-patterned floor.

The alcoves have floating shelves and matching cabinets, while a raised electric fire adds visual warmth.

The kitchen is at the back and has a utility nook off it.

Featuring new cabinetry throughout, it has mallow pink cupboards while the kitchen is a mix of pale birch timber units below the counter and shaker-style doors above, picked out in smokey blue.

Smoked glass full-height splashbacks also play with the same mirroring effect that features in the living room.

Here it is seductive rather than reflective.

The floor here is tiled in a Victorian-style pattern, a look that is carried outdoors to the back garden, where raised beds are clad in the same pattern, as is the block-built bin surround, designed to withstand inclement weather.

There is pedestrian side access to the front.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two doubles and a single, along with the family bathroom.

The bathroom has an L-shaped bath that gives you the feeling of a large shower stall in a washspace where there isn’t room to fit both a bath and a separate shower.

The patterned tiles on the walls and floor also cover the side of the bath to bring in colour in a very crisp way.

The principal has been panelled to dado rail height in a soft mint green.

The second double has timber battens affixed to the walls and painted in spring pastel shades.

The third room is a nursery for the owners' eight-month-old.
