The Kennet

Sooner or later, the spare room stops being spare. In a four-bedroom semi-detached like this, that fourth space earns its keep — a desk by the window one year, a fold-out bed the next, sometimes both at once. It's the kind of quiet flexibility that only reveals itself once a household is properly in motion: school bags in the hall, a project spread across the table, someone on a call behind a closed door. The Kennet is sized for all of that without feeling oversized. Three further bedrooms hold their own — for children at different stages, for a guest who stays longer than a weekend. A semi-detached format keeps the layout grounded and neighbourly, with enough separation between spaces to let the house breathe around the people inside it. A well-considered home, used fully and lived in well.
