An instant lifestyle home in a thriving coastal town.

Description

The Property
Astral House is a home that provides an instant coastal and convenient lifestyle. Recently renovated, with style and functionality at the heart of the project, the house is the epitome of traditional charm meets modern living, with a vibrant energy, private garden and sea view to boot. This is a stand-out townhouse, particularly with the current trend of buyers favouring houses that are well presented, in excellent order and one they can simply add their personal belongings and enjoy living in.

There is an immediate sense of comfort, quality and style. Tall ceilings, large sash windows, marble fireplaces seamlessly blend with sumptuous interiors, contemporary lighting, heritage style radiators, open plan spaces and up to date kitchens and bathrooms with Lefroy Brooks hardware. A formal and elegant feel at the front of the house includes a staircase hall and a charming sitting room, with marble fireplace and light filled bay window. The accommodation flows through a cosy snug/reading room through, to the heart of the house with an exceptional open plan living space. Fulfilling modern living styles, this wonderfully light and spacious area of 9.5 metres long, hosts a bespoke kitchen with shaker-style cabinets, central island and rangemaster, a dining area with banquette seating, and a relaxing seating area with media unit. This is a space that absorbs day to day life, entertaining friends or simple cosy suppers. The natural light, so important in a house, is provided through a six skylights, sash windows and French doors out to the garden. Conveniently on the ground floor is sleek shower room.

The bedrooms are spread over the first and second floor, providing a great flexibility. On the first floor, the principal bedroom is a lovely room with bay window and marble fireplace, with a further two spacious double bedrooms, cinema lounge/study, and the novelty of a utility room making the prospect of laundry a far easier process.

The second floor makes the most of its elevated position. A comfortable living space is complete with triple window and window seat, affording fine views out to sea, and over the rooftops of the town, giving a sense of how brilliantly located the house is. The view allows for full enjoyment of town events such as the New Years fireworks, all from the comfort of home.

Outside
On arrival, you are welcomed by the handsome Victorian façade, with repointed brick work, tall sash windows, wrought iron railings and a distinctive Victorian tiled path to the front door. It is a vision of Victorian architecture.
In contrast, the gardens at the rear of the house has a contemporary edge and have been landscaped to make the most of the space and add to the lifestyle elements of the house. This is epitomised by the a bespoke garden room, with the luxury of underfloor heating, LED lighting, power points and barrel vaulted ceiling, that is multi-functional whether as a home office, pilates room, private reading area or simple storage. The barrel vaulted roof continues to cover an outdoor area, with a shower and dog washing station, which is super convenient given the pedestrian door out to a street running down to the sea front, and therefore ideal for washing down both humans and animals after coastal walks and days in the sea.
The garden is otherwise paved and timber clad, for ease of maintaining, with raised planters providing colour and calm, ambient lighting and a barbecue and pizza oven area. Further storage is provided and even a surf board storage area.
