The Bologna - Passion, Merrington Lane, County Durham, DL16 7UT

The Bologna is a beautiful, contemporary four-bedroom home, designed with family life and socialising in mind.

Its spacious entrance hall leads off to a large kitchen and dining area, with a breakfast bar and French doors leading onto the garden, bringing the outside in.

Its open plan design means you can cook in the kitchen whilst keeping an eye on the kids, talking to guests or helping with tricky homework. There's also a separate utility room and cloakroom.

Across the hall, you'll find the large lounge. It's size means you can divide the space into zones, whether that's for watching TV, curling up with a good book, or a spot to work, play or study.

The feeling of calm and comfort continues upstairs, where there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom, giving space for everyone but making sure family members are close at hand if needed.

A spare room could be used to welcome overnight guests, or turned into a playroom or office, and the master bedroom with ensuite shower room offers a private space to relax after busy, fun-filled days.
