Why you’ll like it:
Quintessential for the period, homes of the 1930s were built with space, light and the family in mind, so generous proportions, social spaces and the all-important garage and driveway were a must. A Tudorbethan revival was also underway with this house bearing many architectural features to include a gabled roof, hung tiles and a grand oak front door.
Hugely attractive on approach, the house sits on the cusp on the hill looking out over the city to the sea; elevated up from the road behind an immaculate front garden and lawn. The driveway houses up to three cars, and while the garage has been converted into a utility room, space to the front has been reserved for storage, push bikes or a motorbike if need be.
Stepping inside, the hallway is wide and welcoming with gleaming wood floors, fresh buttermilk walls and a timber framed staircase turning up to the first floor.
Kitchen Breakfast Room:
Directly ahead, double doors lead through to the luxurious kitchen where high-quality gloss cabinetry offers a wealth of storage solutions. These are paired with dark granite work surfaces for contrast, which also form a large central island with breakfast bar so the family or friends can sit and chat to you as you prepare the evening meal. Three Smeg ovens including a microwave are integrated into the wall units and the dishwasher is integrated below the counter, as is the Smeg induction hob. Slate-grey porcelain floor tiles are heated from below and three contemporary pendants light the space to set the mood. Next door, the utilities have a room of their own in what was the converted garage, and there is a ground floor WC below the stairs to the first floor– ideal in any shared space.
Sitting Room & Dining Room:
You can enter the living and dining room from the hall or from the kitchen, so there is a lovely circular flow which is fantastic when entertaining guests, and convenient for carrying plates through to the table. Solid walnut flooring compliments the ceiling beam above the open fire which has a decorative marble surround, and the chimney flue is lined for efficiency. This side of the room is devoted to relaxation with a wall mounted TV for cordless entertainment, and the deep bay window enjoys far-reaching views across the treetops of the local landscape to the sea. The far side is for formal dining with a set of bi-folding doors opening seamlessly to the garden making it an extension of the house in the summer months, while providing a lovely view of the pool; especially in the evening when it is lit up.
Garden and Pool:
The garden is wonderfully large; indeed, it is one of the largest on the road and has been immaculately cared for by the current owners. You step up from the house to the heated swimming pool which enjoys a wide sun terrace on all sides for sunbathing and barbecuing as the weather warms. The lawn is every child’s dream, as it is certainly big enough to kick a ball around, and would happily house even the biggest trampoline, plus there’s a small Wendy house at the rear of the garden. The lawn is surrounded by well-established beds bringing scent, colour and shape to the space, and the garden is not overlooked in the slightest. Being elevated from the house, it also receives the last of the sunshine, so you can enjoy balmy summer suppers as the sun goes down.
First Floor Bedrooms & Family Bathroom:
A wide turning timber staircase with soft carpet underfoot rises to the first floor here there are four luxury double bedrooms to include the principal bedroom suite, and the family bathroom. Bedroom three has a unique atrium so it is wonderfully light and is also en suite. This elegant shower room is on trend with white metro brick tiling while bedroom two has an equally modern en suite – totalling three en suite bedrooms. The main bathroom has floor to ceiling tiles in urban concrete around the walk-in shower with a ceiling-mounted rainfall showerhead to revive you in the morning. All rooms are substantial doubles with space for king-size beds and freestanding furnishings without compromising on floor space – and the views only improve the further up the house you go.
Principal Bedroom Suite:
The principal bedroom suite has a deep walk in wardrobe with ample clothes storage for two. As the largest bedroom it feels the epitome of luxury and with dual aspect windows enjoying peaceful views. The generous en suite bathroom is fitted with a contemporary roll-top bathtub and more gleaming tiles adorn the floor alongside only the finest quality sanitaryware.

Owners’ thoughts:
“This has been such a fantastic house to bring the children up in. The garden is such a delight in the summer and is very easy to maintain considering its size. It’s so tranquil you feel like you are in the middle of the countryside rather than ten minutes from the city.”
