Ground Floor The warm tones of an engineered wood floor flow from the large hallway into an extensive open plan living area where stunning sea views create an instant wow factor that’s hard to ignore. Full height doors stretch across the heart of this breath-taking space allowing a beautiful amount of natural light to tumble in whilst opening onto a wide south-facing terrace, perfectly extending this incredibly sociable space still further.

Ideal for entertaining friends and family, the spacious open plan arrangement easily accommodates both seating and formal dining areas and includes an immaculate Rotpunkt kitchen which is well-appointed with an array of Siemens appliances and Quooker taps. Effortlessly delineating the room, a vast kitchen island creates a brilliant focal point with its rich bronze tones and quartz countertops. Tucked away out of sight a fully fitted utility room offers a discreet space for laundry appliances and an integrated dishwasher.

The sense of light and space continues in the spacious sun room.

Looking out across the established gardens and onto the sea, full height glazed doors wrap around this idyllic space allowing you to once again step outside onto the sandstone paved terrace.

Adjacent to this relaxing and beautifully lit room, the “F&B Downpipe” tones of a second reception room add a decadent contrast, while an additional sitting room offers ample versatility as a play room or eighth bedroom.

The ground floor is completed with a passive wine room along with a sleek and stylish shower room with a wide Bauhaus basin, arranged in a taupe stone tile setting.

Seller Insight Living here feels like being king of the hill, yet at the same time it’s so secluded and peaceful. When we first bought this house two years ago we set about renovating the existing building while we waited for planning permission to extend it.

I really enjoy spending time in the sunroom relaxing and my favourite room is the master bedroom. I love sleeping with the curtains open so that I can see the sea. As part of the renovation work that we’ve done, we raised the garden terrace so that we could maximise the views.

We’ll really miss the location, it’s so easy to get onto the A27 or pop into town. This house is so well situated for everything.”*

Upstairs A tasteful staircase leads up to the first floor where four double bedrooms provide ideal family accommodation. Enjoying its own panoramic sea views the extensive master suite is the crowning glory of this impeccably designed home. Stretching across the full width of the room, sliding glazed doors allow you to enjoy the sea views from the comfort of your own bed and open onto a wide balcony adding to the wonderful sense of space. A large walk-in dressing room provides a wealth of tasteful fitted wardrobes, while his and hers en suite bathrooms combine to create an enviable feeling of opulence with a freestanding slipper bath, walk-in showers and contemporary wall-hung suites.

Continuing the stylish interior design themes that flow throughout this home, two further double bedrooms benefit from their own panoramic sea views and en suite bathrooms with Villeroy & Boch baths, and Roca and Bauhaus basins. A fourth bedroom offers a peaceful spot as a study/office for those who work from home, and its recessed wardrobe creates plenty of potential to be converted into an en suite bathroom.

The breath-taking sea views continue on the top floor where an additional balcony creates the perfect spot to watch the sun set over the horizon. A duo of full height tilting windows look out over the garden and down to the coast from a large south-facing double bedroom that features a well-appointed en suite shower room and ample fitted wardrobe space. A second double bedroom shares its sea views, whilst a third creates plenty of dual space potential as a sitting room/teenage den.

Arranged in a sumptuous slate tile setting, the top floor bathroom creates a truly decadent feel with its Villeroy & Boch wall-hung basin and full size bath with overhead shower.

Outside The wide sliding doors of the extensive ground floor open onto a spacious south-facing sandstone terrace that reaches out across the full width of the house creating an immensely easy flowing extension. This incredibly sociable and versatile space is perfect for entertaining large groups of friends and family who can relax and enjoy its beautiful sea views and sunsets.

Step down from the terrace onto a highly private south-facing garden that offers a beautiful space for children to play. To the side of the house, a large heated outdoor swimming pool measures approximately 12m x 4.5m and once again benefits from a huge amount of privacy.

Adding to the immense flow of natural light and feeling of space that this contemporary family home offers, each of the upper two storeys feature their own generously sized balconies creating the perfect space to relax in the sun.

To the front of the house a newly laid driveway combines with an integral double garage with motorbike anchor to offer convenient off-road parking for several vehicles. The garage itself is heated and insulated providing the potential to be converted into further living accommodation.
