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.”*

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.
