Leighton Gardens

An eye for detail is the genius behind this home. Slick, light-filled interiors lifted by vivid accents keep things fresh and inviting throughout. Sweeping bay windows at the front and an impressive, industrial-style glass wall onto the patio, bathe the ground floor in sunlight. Every room has been thoughtfully designed, with our frontrunners being the living room, with its pastel palette and striking art, and the kitchen, with its colour contrasts, parquet flooring, and sleek island. Design-focused it may be but there's plenty of room for comfort too — just look at that Scandi-style snug by the patio windows, or the cosy little reading nook overlooking the garden in the fourth bedroom. There's no shortage of dining options either, with alfresco patio furniture and a generously-sized kitchen table, where you can still enjoy garden views — if not garden weather. Each bedroom boasts its own style, with the top floor nudging its way to first place through a skilful blend of charcoal tones, light wood, and bonus luxuries like a TV and ensuite. The bathrooms are all gleaming examples of clean lines and glossy design, along with those trademark daubs of colour.

We love...

Much as there is to admire inside, the outside deserves some love too, with its roomy patio, sheltered dining table, and manicured garden.
