Approached via a private gated driveway, the house makes an immediate impression with its symmetrical façade, sandstone-style detailing, arched entrance, integral garage and heritage-style aluminium windows. The landscaped frontage provides off-road parking and a smart sense of arrival, while the property’s refined architectural detailing continues throughout the interior.

The entrance hall sets the tone for the home, with elegant tiled flooring, a beautifully crafted staircase, forged-style balustrading and a ground-floor cloakroom. From here, the accommodation opens into the principal living space, a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family room extending across the rear of the house. This room forms the natural hub of the home, designed for both day-to-day family living and entertaining on a larger scale.

The bespoke kitchen is a standout feature, fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry, integrated Studio Line appliances and a striking central island with waterfall worktops, breakfast bar seating and additional storage. Matching surfaces and a statement splashback create a refined, designer finish, while large glazed doors and windows bring in excellent natural light and provide a seamless connection to the garden.

The dining and living areas are arranged around the kitchen to create a sociable, flowing space, ideal for relaxed coastal living. A separate snug sits to the front of the house, offering a valuable second reception room that works equally well as a media room, playroom or more intimate evening sitting room.
