The Hatfield

A small family needs a home that can hold more than one version of itself — and at 969 sq ft across a three-bedroom semi-detached, The Hatfield makes a convincing case for being exactly that. The third bedroom is the room that earns its keep differently depending on the year: cot in the corner one season, desk and shelves the next, a spare bed when someone comes to stay. The semi-detached format gives the household a shape that feels genuinely residential — a proper front door, a sense of arrival, walls that belong only to you on one side. It's compact enough to feel manageable, generous enough to allow a little ambition in the decorating — art going up, a rug from a market, a plant claimed for the windowsill. A home sized for now, with room left over for what comes next.
