The newly unveiled show apartment stylishly showcases the specification of all apartments at Epsom Reach. Upon entering the home, residents are greeted by an expansive hallway, complete with built-in storage – ideal for hiding away coats, umbrellas and re-usable shopping bags. At the far end of the home the kitchen/living/dining area forms the focus of the property. Completed to a high finish and benefitting from integrated appliances, the room provides space for entertaining friends and family, or relaxing at the end of a long day. The apartment’s private outdoor terrace is accessed via floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, ensuring the living space basks in light whilst also creating a bonus area during the spring and summer months.
The master bedroom is the jewel in the crown of this home: built-in wardrobes provide plenty of space for clothing and shoes, whilst the room has a full-height window. Bedroom two is well sized, and can easily fit a double bed and other bedroom furniture, creating a great space for guests to stay. Alternatively, those living alone may like to transform this room into a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room. Residents who work from home regularly will be pleased with bedroom three which acts as a great space for a dedicated home office. Either of these rooms could also serve as a children’s nursery/playroom.
