AN UNASSUMING END of terrace home in Drimnagh, 198 Carrow Road is a roomy two-bed with a whole host of designer surprises inside.

Between the eye-catching Ligne Roset TOGO seating and the iconic SMEG fridge, the pops of red prove that design comes first in this home.

Because of its open plan layout, the kitchen, dining area and large lounge are drenched in natural light. Solid oak flooring throughout and access to the rear garden keep the space feeling fresh.

Black high gloss kitchen units add contrast while complementing the modernity of the whole space. The composite stone worktop can take a knock and, even handier, all of the essential integrated appliances are fitted and ready to go.

A round sky light adds to the brightness, while plenty of glass panes provide garden views.

The splashes of red aren’t just confined to the downstairs level, though. In the bathroom, whites and a rich red combine to add depth and a sense of more space.

Wall-hung sanitary ware always makes for easy cleaning, while a heated towel rail keeps things toasty.

Two double bedrooms join the bathroom upstairs. Each comes complete with comfy carpeting and fitted wardrobes for plenty of storage.

The master bedroom enjoys a large window overlooking a shared green outside.
