Designed to take full advantage of its commanding position, this stunning home offers over 3,200 sq ft of elegantly appointed accommodation arranged across three expansive levels, blending contemporary coastal luxury with timeless architectural style.

An RK front door with discreet fingerprint recognition opens into a welcoming porch and into the heart of the home. A porcelain-tiled entrance hall immediately reveals the light-filled interior and dramatic sea views beyond. The entrance level has been thoughtfully configured to create a seamless flow between formal and informal living spaces, all framed by the sparkling panorama of the bay.

To the front, the formal living room is both refined and inviting. Broad picture windows and a Juliet balcony frame postcard-perfect views of the sea, while a contemporary Gazco fireplace provides a cosy and stylish focal point. Adjacent to this, the dining room offers generous proportions for entertaining, with sliding patio doors opening directly onto a large sun terrace with glass balustrade, ideal for al fresco dining.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the kitchen/breakfast room, where sleek design meets everyday functionality. This show-stopping space features a large central island for informal seating and food preparation, premium appliances including two Neff ‘Slide & Hide’ ovens, an integrated microwave, warming drawer, and a five-burner gas hob with wok burner. Smooth quartz worktops and handleless cabinetry create clean modern lines, while dual-aspect bi-folding doors flood the room with natural light and open the space entirely to the south- and west-facing terrace—perfect for enjoying sea breezes, morning coffee and stunning sunset dinners.

A discreet utility room with garden access and a cloakroom/WC provide practicality, while internal access to the integral double garage ensures everyday ease and comfort, whatever the weather.

The second bedroom is equally impressive, featuring an imported Italian floating bed frame, a bespoke upholstered headboard, and walk-in wardrobe. Its designer en-suite includes full-height feature tiling, an oversized floating vanity unit, and another WaterVue TV for indulgent bathing.

The remaining two bedrooms also enjoy terrace access and sea views from bed. They are served by a high-spec shower room, and their flexible layout makes them ideal for family use, guest accommodation, or even a home office.

On the Garden Floor, a self-contained annexe offers a remarkable level of versatility. With access from the house and the garden, this space is perfectly suited to multigenerational living, a guest suite, or high-end holiday let potential.
