House For Sale £1,250,000
7 Merchants Row is a superb modern townhouse, certainly one of the very best on the harbour, with an expanse of beautifully proportioned accommodation flooded with natural light; stunning
views, a landscaped south facing garden and a superb and very private south facing roof terrace. The house truly epitomises an indoor / outdoor lifestyle with access to private outside space from three of its four floors, and uplifting views from every one of them.
Accessed from the front of the house, directly from the harbour, is a wide and welcoming entrance hall with glimpses down to the sunny south facing garden beyond, stairs to the upper floors and access to a fitted cloakroom. To the rear of the entrance hall is a rear lobby, with a door out into the garden providing direct rear access to the garden, utility room and garage.
To the front of the house is a lovely dual aspect family kitchen and breakfast room with direct harbour views; installed by the current owners with a contemporary finish and a freestanding central island and breakfast bar. A 5-ring gas hob and wall mounted oven and separate grill provide plenty of cooking options, with an expanse of worktops and plenty of floor and wall mounted storage.
The kitchen is semi-open plan to the dual purpose dining and sitting room, with wonderful views over the garden and a double height ceiling across the seating area. The room is flooded with natural light from double-height windows, with French doors out into the garden as well as electrically operated windows for extra ventilation.
Stairs lead up to the superb “floating” first floor family room, with panoramic views to both front and rear along with access out onto a superb covered balcony overlooking the harbour. The rear of the family room overlooks the sitting room below, with the full height windows providing views over the garden and a picture window to the front with direct views across the harbour.
To the rear of the first floor landing is a useful fourth bedroom or home office space, with views over the rear garden.
Across the second floor lie three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The master bedroom lies to the front with exquisite water views, access to a walk-in wardrobe and a fully fitted en-suite bath and shower room.
To the rear is a further bedroom suite, this time overlooking the garden and also benefitting from a double wardrobe and a fitted en-suite shower room. Adjacent to this is a third double bedroom, also with views over the garden and benefitting from a separate fully fitted shower room.
The stairs lead up to the top floor with a fabulous dual-aspect sun-room drenched in natural light and offering access out onto the full depth roof terrace. The space works beautifully for a number of uses; such as a home office, studio, reading or music room.
Outside however the full-depth roof terrace truly brings the “outside in” with a beautifully landscaped, low maintenance garden taking full advantage of the terrace's sunny orientation and stunning 180 degree harbour views. To the front, there is a large paved terrace with plenty of room for al-fresco dining and outdoor cooking, with fitted seating and access to a generous store cupboard complete with power and light; perfect for a terrace bar (with drinks fridge) and further storage facilities for outdoor furniture. A perfect spot to watch the world (and the odd boat, balloon or paddle boarder) drift by.
Accessed from both the rear hallway and the sitting room is the exquisite south-facing garden; beautifully and sensitively landscaped for year-round interest and enjoyment, with several seating zones complemented by mature plantings and an attractive water feature. Peace and privacy personified.
Beyond the garden is access to an 18' garage and a well-appointed utility room, with space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer and further fitted storage. A great space for bikes, outdoor equipment and garden furniture.
