Key house types include the four-bedroom 'Richmond' (approximately 2033 square feet) and the four-bedroom 'Stratford'. Standard features often include open-plan kitchen/dining/family areas, frequently equipped with large central islands and bifolding doors providing access to the garden. Separate lounges, dedicated utility rooms, and flexibility for home office space cater to contemporary living.
