The Approach
Approached from a smartly finished brick-paved driveway that features an electric car charging point, this attractive family home benefits from a double integral garage, accessible via an electric roller door or directly from the main hallway. The garage is thoughtfully equipped with utility connections, offering space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. On the front elevation, a sheltered porchway leads to the entrance door-an obscured double-glazed unit which opens into a welcoming reception hall. Tastefully finished with oak flooring, the hallway continues the elegant theme with coordinating oak internal doors and a staircase ascending to the upper level. From the hallway, there is internal access to the garage, a generous study with front-facing window, perfect for remote working or as a versatile playroom, and a modern cloakroom, complete with wall-mounted basin and low-level WC, complemented by a side-aspect obscured window and matching oak flooring.

Main Living & Entertaining Space
This impressive space is unified by warm oak flooring and enjoys sweeping sea views. The kitchen is fitted with a modern collection of dove grey cabinetry, paired with coordinating worktops and tiled splashbacks for a stylish finish. A sleek breakfast bar subtly defines the space between the kitchen and living zones. Quality integrated appliances include a Smeg eye-level double oven and a Belling induction hob with extractor, alongside designated space and plumbing for a dishwasher and a large freestanding fridge/freezer. The stainless steel sink and drainer are perfectly positioned beneath a double-glazed window that captures scenic sea views, and a side-facing obscured door provides convenient access to the exterior. The adjoining living and dining space offers near-full-height windows that showcase the picturesque backdrop. Patio doors lead onto a private balcony enclosed by modern glass balustrading and finished in durable composite decking-perfect for alfresco dining.

Lower Ground Floor Accommodation
From the living room, stairs descend to the lower ground floor, where a spacious and flexible room awaits. Perfectly suited to a formal dining space, a second sitting room, or, if required, as the principal reception area of a potential annexe. With direct access to the sunny rear garden via a double-glazed patio door, this level lends itself well to independent living or guest accommodation. Positioned just off this room is a well-sized double bedroom, enjoying peaceful garden views through a rear-facing window. A stylish bathroom completes the layout on this floor, offering a full suite that includes a bath with mains shower above and fully tiled surround, a pedestal wash basin with illuminated mirrored cabinet above, a low level WC, and a heated towel rail. Finished with large format floor tiles and part-tiled walls, the bathroom balances modern design with everyday comfort.

Bedroom & Bathroom Suites
The first floor of the property offers privacy and practicality, hosting four bedrooms. The principal suite is spacious and light-filled, boasting far-reaching sea views and a stylish en-suite shower room complete with underfloor heating. The second bedroom, also enjoying sea-facing aspects, is a generous double. Bedrooms three and four are located at the front of the home; bedroom three is another comfortable double, while bedroom four offers flexible space as a smaller double. A beautifully appointed family bathroom serves this floor. It features a bespoke vanity unit with inset basin set into a polished granite worktop, with ample cupboard and drawer storage beneath. The bathroom includes a panelled bath with mains shower over, a low level WC, and is finished with contemporary tiling, a heated towel rail, and underfloor heating for a touch of everyday luxury.

Entertain Outdoors
The rear garden of this residence is a true extension of the living space-meticulously designed for entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Bathed in sunlight and thoughtfully arranged over two levels, the garden begins with a spacious patio that provides the most ideal setting for entertaining or relaxing. This patio area is spacious enough to accommodate multiple seating areas, as well as a hot tub, which the current owners can easily accommodate. A set of four steps leads down to a generous lawn, ideal for family use or quiet leisure. A second, lower patio offers a more secluded spot to enjoy a morning coffee or the sunset with a glass of wine. Surrounded by established plantings and privacy features, the garden is functional and picturesque. Together with the glass-fronted balcony from the main reception room, it provides a variety of outdoor areas from which to entertain, relax, and take in the elevated views across the surrounding area.
