Old habits die hard in the Surrey stockbroker belt, but loft-style living is catching on there.
New detached family houses at High Warren in Ashtead, pictured, have multi-use super-rooms zoned into areas for cooking and home entertainment. Jonathan Cranley, director of Millgate Homes, says: “The kitchen is the hub of the house, the real focal point.”
Instead of rigidly defined rooms, homes have a free-flowing feel, while the super-room incorporates a bright orangery with bi-fold doors opening out on to the garden. Prices from £3.75 million. Call 0118 934 3344.
