Description

Set within the grandeur of a prominent coastal Grade II Listed, Willett House, this exquisite apartment radiates all the charm of a characteristically Victorian home having been assiduously renovated to an exacting standard. This exquisite mansion flat spans almost 1,500sqft/ 132.2sqm,
encompassing the majority of the lower ground floor in this remarkable yellow brick building. The property presents with high ceilings, excellent
room proportions and a soft neutral colour palette with a contemporary finish as well as its own off-street entrance.
A central hallway divides the main living areas from the bedrooms, making for an easy flowing layout.

To the rear is the open plan lounge, kitchen, and dining room. The room is a fantastic size with clearly defined areas for relaxing and cooking. An imposing sash bay window with bespoke shutters and double partial glass doors draw in the afternoon sun creating a wonderfully well-lit space. The statement kitchen features a sophisticated j-pull design with a wide-ranging selection of integrated appliances which includes an enviable wine-chiller and French doors lead out to the garden. A centrally positioned breakfast bar forms a relaxed additional dining spot whilst the room retains plenty of space for a family dining table. A large storage room is accessible from the hallway while a second cupboard with double doors offers a convenient spot to store outdoor shoes and coats. An ample sized family bathroom with a shower over bath follows a contemporary design and set across the hallway from the lounge. The property has two double bedrooms with the main suite benefiting from a stunning, recently installed ensuite with a gorgeous, modern walk in shower benefitting from midnight blue tiling. A second hallway leads along to a luxurious home spa complete with a sauna, a steam room, and a walk-in shower. A handy utility room follows suit.
From the kitchen you walk out onto the sizeable patio which in turn leads out to a well-stocked west facing garden with lawn, trees and shrubs.
