Immaculate house with beautiful gardens & stunning sea views

Description

This detached family home offers contemporary, flexible accommodation arranged over three floors, complemented by a versatile detached outbuilding. Designed with practical modern living in mind, the property centres around an impressive open-plan Kitchen/Dining Room featuring a high-specification grey kitchen with quartz worktops, a central island, and a Aga total control electric cooker. Large full-height glazed doors open directly onto the rear garden and are fitted with integral electronic blinds discreetly housed within the glazing, ensuring both privacy and seamless design. A separate Living Room with a feature fireplace provides a comfortable second reception area, ideal for relaxation or entertaining. The ground floor also includes a well-equipped Utility Room, a dedicated Office/Study, a shower room, and internal access to the integral Garage.

Heating throughout the property is efficiently managed by an oil-fired boiler located in the garage, supplying radiators and hot water. In addition, electric underfloor heating is installed in the kitchen, dining area, utility room, ground-floor shower room, and second-floor en suite. Each room benefits from individual temperature control via a Honeywell zoning system, which can be operated from the central kitchen controller, directly on individual radiators, or remotely through a mobile app.

The house is equipped with a remotely monitored alarm system linked to a security company and activated using a convenient key fob. CCTV cameras and a smart doorbell system can also be viewed remotely through a dedicated mobile app. The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, an en-suite shower room and a family bathroom, with two of the bedrooms enjoying access to a balcony with stunning sea views. The second floor hosts a spacious principal bedroom featuring a distinctive circular window and an en suite luxury bathroom with glazing to allow beautiful views over the sea. Many of the windows and doors throughout the property are high-performance triple-glazed aluminium units, including several Velux windows fitted with either solar-powered or electronically operated blinds controlled via wall-mounted switches on each floor.

Externally, the property sits within an attractive, well-maintained garden featuring a generous lawn area over which there are stunning views of the sea. The front driveway benefits from eaves and driveway lighting that automatically activates at dusk and is controlled by an adjustable timer, alongside a dedicate EV charger. The rear garden includes additional external lighting, operated using high-level switches conveniently positioned by the back door. A detached workshop and two summerhouses, complete with lighting and power provide valuable supplementary space.
