About
Welcome to Simple Life's Durban Mill homes.
Built on the site of a former mill, and nestling at the heart of the thriving Hollinwood community, these quality homes are purpose built for the rental market, providing the ultimate in flexibility and freedom.
The welcoming central hallway of the Grantham sits in between the living room and the kitchen.
A house designed with you in mind, the spacious lounge provides the perfect area to relax, whilst the dining/kitchen area provides a great place to spend time and entertain with its French windows opening on to the garden.
A WC is conveniently situated off the hallway, completing the downstairs. Upstairs, the house has a large master bedroom with fitted, mirrored wardrobes, and a further two bedrooms.
A stylish family bathroom with a separate bath and shower provides the best of both worlds, whilst a storeroom on the landing provides a space to store bits and pieces.
