These rooms provide excellent flexibility, working equally well as formal sitting rooms, a study, music room or additional family space.

To the rear, the house opens into a spectacular open plan kitchen, dining and family room measuring approximately 30ft. This is the true heart of the home, with multiple Velux windows drawing in natural light and wide doors opening directly onto the west facing garden. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with a large central island, Sub Zero and Wolf appliances, excellent storage and plenty of space for cooking, dining and entertaining. The flow from the kitchen through to the garden is a standout feature, creating a superb indoor outdoor lifestyle space.

Also on the ground floor is a shower room, which leads through to a useful storeroom/pantry, ideal for household storage, coats, boots, wine, provisions or everyday family overflow.

The lower ground floor adds further practicality, with a generous utility room providing excellent additional storage and laundry space, keeping the working elements of the home neatly separate from the main living areas.

The first floor is home to a beautiful principal bedroom, positioned to the front of the house and enjoying wonderful proportions, high ceilings, a large bay window, period detailing and a fireplace.

There are two further double bedrooms on this level, both well proportioned, along with a luxury main shower room finished to a high standard. The first floor also gives access to the original front balcony, a charming feature which enhances the character of the home.

The second floor provides two further double bedrooms, both benefiting from their own en suite facilities. This makes the top floor ideal for older children, guests or those wanting a degree of separation from the main bedroom accommodation. The landing also opens onto a west facing terrace, enjoying rooftop views and glimpses towards the sea, creating a peaceful elevated space to sit out and enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.

Outside, the west facing garden is private, mature and beautifully arranged.
