The accommodation features neutral décor throughout together with a wide range of high-specification fixtures and fittings including solar panels, underfloor heating to the ground floor and upstairs bathrooms, quality joinery, media walls and some fitted furniture and kitchens and utility rooms installed by Room Room Interiors, a Harrogate-based company.
