Khadija [Updated]
Quite some time ago now I built this house for QBuilderz' contest here on MTS, but I've only just managed to put the finishing touches and adjustments to it, but I can finally (and very happily at that) present Khadija to you. I had a wonderful time building this house, I've never worked on anything of this style before so it was somewhat of a trial and error process; nevertheless, I relished the challenge of trying something completely different, and I hope that my enthusiasm when creating this comes through in the design and details of the building.
The house is comprised of two floors, the lower of which occupies the main living spaces of the house, including the kitchen, dining and living areas; while the upper plays host to three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The floor plan, whilst not especially open plan, has a fluid and light feel to it because of the arches I used to connect the spaces and bring the house together. I also tried to go for a colour scheme that was warm and homely, but not overbearing, and I hope this has translated well in the photos and in game.
I'll stop waffling now, please enjoy the house!

Update
After several bugs were brought to my attention I have uploaded an updated version of the lot, screenshots have also been adjusted accordingly. If you would like to see the full list of changes made please click on the spoiler below. I have also fully play tested the lot to ensure all other bugs have been ironed out and that all furniture is accessible and usable.
*External bin moved to become accessible
*Ground floor bathroom expanded to allow space to mop
*Upper floor en-suite reshuffled to allow space to mop
*Wall and door on upper floor balcony to prevent guests walking into the house
*Dining room reshuffled so all chairs are usable
*Kitchen oven, chairs & table, bin, sideboard and wine rack recoloured
*Mailbox recoloured
*Roof tiles changed to be more in-keeping
*Other small ornaments/objects recoloured around the house
*This house contains no custom content*
*Play tested fully*
Lot Size: 30x30
Lot Price: £161,525/£94,248
