The Fallow

A fifth bedroom in a house this size stops being spare fairly quickly — it becomes the room with the good desk, the one claimed before the removal van is empty. In a five-bedroom detached like Fallow, that kind of quiet negotiation happens naturally: a door closed for a video call, a corner given over to canvases or kit, a guest who can stay the week without anyone rearranging. The rest of the house follows the same logic — not aspirational square footage, but space that absorbs the actual texture of a full household. School bags, visiting parents, a teenager who needs their own corner of the evening. Fallow is the kind of detached home where life doesn't have to be edited down to fit. A plant on the windowsill, art going up over the sofa — it settles into itself gradually, and that's the point.
