Step Inside
On entering, to the right of an expansive light-filled hallway, oak double doors open into the main living space, divisible with a cosy reception area at the front extending into a more cool contemporary living space occupying the new extended rear portion of the property.
Coved ceilings, leaded glass windows spanning both front and rear, contemporary radiators and a combination of solid maple wood flooring and soft carpeting add a blend of balanced sympathetic modernity. The front reception area benefits from a large open fireplace fitted with a double door wood-burning stove built into a stunning stone hearth. The rear living area is flooded with natural light through an impressive linear skylight and its aluminium doors lead out onto the rear terrace for that ideal outdoor expanded lifestyle.
On the opposite side of the hallway the extended open-plan kitchen/diner sits right at the heart of the home. This flexible family/entertaining space incorporates a unique elegance comprising a leaded glass box bay window to the front, currently configured to accommodate relaxed seating; a stunning central fully-fitted kitchen hub; then a more formal dining area to the rear with full height bifold doors opening onto the external rear terrace. Solid maple flooring runs throughout the space and the double aspect allows plenty of natural light to flow through. Contemporary lighting elements in all three zones and central mirrored radiators add a touch of luxe coolness to this space with the kitchen pulling the theme together.
The chic, cream-toned contemporary kitchen has been fitted with clean lines that enhance the space. The wood flooring and rustic natural brickwork add warmth while the contrasting cream floor and eye level shaker style units compliment this. A central island offers lots of storage space and plenty of seating for a large family. All kitchen appliances are integrated and a Smeg double range cooker and separate double oven make light work of family meals. This is a spectacular room in which to relax, create and entertain.
Accessed via the dining room, the integral garage is located to the right of the property with a practical utility room at its rear. A further snug/family room/office is located off the dining room, overlooking the rear gardens and patio. An additional WC completes the ground floor.
Moving on up, the first floor sits on a galleried landing flooded with light from a double-stacked set of leaded windows enjoying views down to the ocean. The spectacular double height ceiling allows space for statement lighting.
Three double bedrooms are situated on this floor including the primary bedroom suite complete with ensuite shower room and separate dressing room. This generously proportioned room is oriented south with distant sea views and is a calm, peaceful sleep space bathed in natural light. The room benefits from built-in storage, soft neutral décor and a pleasant feature wall. The ensuite has the advantage of inset lighting, an obscured leaded glass window with secondary glazing, under floor heating, a corner shower cubicle and ‘his and hers’ wall mounted wash basins. The use of earthy toned tiling with wood and black accented cabinetry creates a decisive chicness, while the dressing room offers practicality and a luxe factor with its double wardrobe units and matching drawer space.
Two further double bedrooms on this floor enjoy beautiful and contrasting views. Bedroom 2 is configured with a leaded glass box bay window to the front with distant views to the sea. The interior decor includes a built-in desk with wall-mounted units and shelving, ideal for a teenager, plus plenty of wardrobe space in the form of built-in double wardrobes. Bedroom 3 overlooks the rear garden and is spacious and neutral in its decor. These rooms share a stylish shower room with under floor heating.
On the top floor the converted loft space is home to the final three bedrooms, all nicely proportioned, beautifully illuminated with natural light and with sublime yet differing views. These rooms share a bright bathroom.

Front Garden - The double block-paved driveway gives access to the single integral garage while also providing off-road parking for several vehicles. With a small area laid to lawn it additionally benefits from a wide variety of established trees and shrubs. A front terrace is sizeable enough for a table and chairs for al fresco dining or relaxing in the late afternoon sun.
Rear Garden - This substantial, secluded rear garden is perfect for both adults and children alike. Landscaped in three distinct areas; a paved patio area enclosed in a white wrap around wall - ideal for relaxing and enjoying long summer afternoons or perfect for al fresco meals and entertaining guests; a substantial lawned garden with a vast array of mature border trees and shrubs - accessed from the patio area via steps; and lastly a raised decked area towards the bottom of the garden housing a useful garden room complete with TV and heating - the ideal hang out for a teenager or for use as a studio for a budding artist or creative artisan. This area also plays host to a BBQ and a fabulous hot tub. With the open fields and glorious views beyond who wouldn’t want to make use of this on a summer evening.
