Description
Already an impressive home of scale and refinement, what truly elevates this opportunity is the benefit of approved planning permission to significantly extend and reimagine the property - offering purchasers a rare chance to create a landmark coastal home of exceptional quality and design. Beautifully evolved over time, the property has been thoughtfully extended and meticulously maintained, now presenting a superb balance of elegance, space and versatility. The accommodation is immaculately presented throughout, with expansive open-plan living areas forming the heart of the home, complemented by five well-proportioned double bedrooms, with the luxurious principal suite enjoying private en-suite facilities.
A welcoming entrance hall creates a refined first impression, guiding you through to the principal reception room - an impressive space centred around a freestanding wood-burning stove, with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that effortlessly connect the interior to the expansive sun terrace. Enclosed by contemporary glass balustrades, this elevated vantage point provides uninterrupted, panoramic views across the estuary, creating an exceptional setting to enjoy Portishead’s renowned sunsets. The kitchen/dining/living space is equally impressive - designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. The bespoke kitchen is appointed with granite work surfaces, integrated appliances, and a striking corner window perfectly framing the coastal outlook. A separate utility room and cloakroom enhance practicality.
Beneath the terrace, a highly versatile studio - currently utilised as a games room - offers independent living potential, complete with its own kitchenette and shower room, ideal for guests, multi-generational living or future annex conversion.

To the first floor, four double bedrooms are arranged alongside a contemporary family bathroom, while the principal bedroom enjoys its own en-suite and elevated views.
Outside - The property enjoys a beautifully maintained, south-facing rear garden, designed to maximise sunlight throughout the day and offering a fantastic space for both relaxation and entertaining. Immediately to the rear of the property is a patio area, ideal for outdoor dining, with steps leading up to a lawned garden. The layout has been thoughtfully arranged to create distinct zones, including a further patio seating area, providing additional space for entertaining or enjoying different aspects of the garden throughout the day. To the rear of the garden, there is a secondary patio area, offering a more private seating space and enhancing the versatility of the outdoor accommodation.
Planning & Potential - The approved planning consent presents a compelling opportunity to transform the existing home into a striking, contemporary residence of significant architectural merit. For those seeking to create a bespoke coastal home tailored to exacting standards, the groundwork has already been laid. Equally, the existing accommodation stands as a substantial and beautifully presented home in its own right, with the planning illustrating the exceptional potential on offer. A contractor is also available to tender, providing a seamless pathway for those wishing to progress the scheme.
