Constructed approximately around 35 years ago, the residence has undergone a meticulous reconfiguration and recent makeover by Neptune Interior Designers, seamlessly blending contemporary touches with its inherent charm.
Upon entering, the distinctive wood panelling in the entrance hall sets the tone, complemented by exposed wooden floorboards and beautiful solid doors with vibrant stained-glass panels. Offering versatility, the ground floor presents a range of spaces to suit various needs, including a functional office and a cozy front reception room, currently repurposed as a home gym. This thoughtful layout seamlessly combines practicality with style, ensuring every corner of the home is both inviting and functional.
The heart of the home lies in the open plan living room, boasting a spectacular vaulted ceiling, with oak beams and full height glass walls that flood the space with natural light. A focal point fireplace invites cozy gatherings, while double doors lead to the first garden patio. Adjacent is a designated dining area with double doors to the lower patio.
The contemporary kitchen has been carefully designed with integrated appliances, a breakfast island, and allow a seamless flow to the west facing garden, ideal for al fresco dining or basking in the afternoon sun. Completing the ground floor is a convenient utility area and cloakroom.
The charm and character continue to the first floor, where all three bedrooms are not compromised and have access to a newly appointed bathroom adorned with Burlington fixtures. The principal bedroom features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, wood panelled wall and a recently installed designer Ensuite. There is a useful reading space which could be extended to create a fourth bedroom with professional plans currently drawn and subject to permitted planning regs.
Outside, the property is graced with a mature west-facing garden offering privacy and tranquillity, with flower beds and multiple patios for outdoor entertaining. A summerhouse or second office provides additional functionality, enhanced by subtle automated lighting that illuminates the space at sunset.
The frontage is equally impressive, with manicured lawns, established trees, and ample parking via a gravel drive and detached double garage, all enhanced by discreet professional lighting.
It is all about location, location, location; If you are looking for a tranquil setting with both city living entertainment, award winning sandy beaches and country pursuits within easy reach, then look no further.
