House For Sale £2,750,000
Abbott and Abbott Estate Agents are privileged to offer for sale, quite simply, one of the finest and most distinctive beachside properties in the area.
This is a superb detached house of immense style and character, dating from the 1920’s, occupying a prominent position, elevated from the beach, with direct access to the foreshore from the lower rear garden, with extensive and beautiful views over the sea, with Beachy Head and the South Downs in the distance to the west. The property provides well-proportioned and characterful accommodation, with principal rooms having a south aspect and sea views, with six bedrooms – with en suite bathrooms to each of the first floor bedrooms, four reception rooms including a charming triple-aspect sitting room, a south-facing sun lounge, and a splendid games room with inglenook fireplace. There is an integrated sound system with speakers to the principal ground floor rooms. Much use has been made of oak joinery, both internally and externally, with panelled walls to the hall and dining room, ceiling beams, battened doors, diamond-light windows and attractive kitchen units. The property has a pool room, with a 30’ x 15’ heated swimming pool, plus a self-contained one-bedroom annexe. Outside, the property is set in lovely, mature gardens, taking full advantage of the south aspect and the views to the rear, with direct access onto the beach from the rear garden and from two detached boathouses.
The property is situated in one of Bexhill's premier roads, just half a mile from Cooden Beach railway station - with its links to London, Brighton and Ashford. Bexhill is a vibrant town, acclaimed for the iconic De La Warr Pavilion, offering a variety of shops, cafes, restaurants and also having two Golf courses, Sailing club, Rowing club, Tennis and Squash club, and the Cooden Beach Hotel and Spa, all within close proximity.
