STEP INSIDE From the moment you enter, this exceptional home makes a lasting impression. A welcoming entrance hall introduces the property's contemporary styling, where high-quality finishes, clean architectural lines and extensive glazing combine to create an atmosphere of light and space.
Designed with modern living in mind, the property seamlessly blends striking aesthetics with advanced energy-efficient technology. An air source heat pump provides underfloor heating throughout both floors, with 14 independently controlled heating zones allowing precise temperature management across the home. Triple-glazed windows and electronically operated blinds, all controlled remotely, further enhance comfort, convenience and energy performance.
At the heart of the home lies a magnificent open-plan kitchen/family room. The beautifully appointed kitchen centres around a substantial island, while the family area provides an inviting setting for both relaxed evenings and larger gatherings. Expanses of glazing draw natural light throughout the space, enhancing the seamless flow between the interior and the garden.
Practicality has been carefully considered, with a separate utility room providing additional workspace and storage, while a cloakroom adds convenience. Bedroom three is situated on the ground floor and benefits from its own en-suite shower room, offering flexibility for visiting guests or multi-generational living.
The first floor continues the home's impressive design credentials. The principal suite is a truly outstanding space, featuring a vaulted ceiling and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling glazed gable window that frames views towards the sea and fills the room with natural light. Sliding doors open directly onto the balcony. A contemporary glazed wall conceals an impressive walk-in wardrobe, adding a luxurious boutique-hotel feel, while the stylish en-suite bathroom completes this private retreat.
Bedroom two is another generously proportioned double bedroom, complemented by a dedicated dressing area and en-suite shower room.
The study is one of the home's most striking rooms. Designed around a spectacular glazed gable elevation and large rooflight, this inspiring space is flooded with natural light and enjoys an exceptional sense of openness. Whether used as a bedroom, home office, creative studio or reading room, it perfectly showcases the property's distinctive architectural character.
Throughout the property, the thoughtful use of glass, vaulted ceilings and contemporary design elements creates a sophisticated home that feels both luxurious and welcoming. Complementing the contemporary design is a carefully integrated suite of smart technology, including remote controlled electronic blinds, delivering exceptional levels of comfort, efficiency and control throughout this remarkable coastal home.
STEP OUTSIDE The outdoor space has been designed with the same attention to detail as the interior. A substantial composite deck provides an impressive entertaining terrace with spa, creating the perfect setting for outdoor dining, summer gatherings or simply relaxing in peaceful surroundings.
Beyond the terrace, the beautifully landscaped garden unfolds with manicured lawns, established planting, ornamental borders and thoughtfully positioned seating areas.
The property also benefits from driveway parking for up to 4 cars along with an EV point.
