About this property
Originally built in the 1930’s this stunning property sits on a large cliff top plot enjoying a southerly aspect with fantastic sea views from the principal rooms. The house has been beautifully renovated and reconfigured by the current owners to suit 21st century living by providing bright open planned ground floor accommodation and a main bedroom with a dressing room and an en suite shower room, gas central heating and UPVC framed double glazed windows.
The generous frontage benefits from an in and out driveway both with electric gates, two single garages and a large block paved parking area with space for several cars and a covered entrance porch. The entrance hall with a cloakroom and a feature wood block floor opens into a bright and airy dining and sun room area accessing the rear garden. There are two attractive south facing reception rooms, one with a log burner. The kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully designed with a central island, fitted with sleek modern units, stone work tops, high quality integral appliances and a separate utility room. Upstairs there are five good sized bedrooms, three of which have stunning far reaching sea and coastal views with the main bedroom having a dressing room and en suite shower room. There is also a luxurious family bathroom with a shower and a large first floor sun balcony.
Located to the rear of one of the two garages that is currently being used as a games room is a separate office and a shower room and changing room area perfect for using after a dip in the pool or the sea.
The level south facing garden is a particular feature of the property with a paved patio stretching across the rear of the property and around the 10 x 5 metre heated swimming pool. There is a lawned area bounded by mature shrub borders and a large sun deck directly on the cliff top from where you have magnificent and uninterrupted panoramic sea, beach and coastal views.
