Set within generous wrap-around gardens with driveway and double garage, this substantial family home offers elegant and versatile accommodation in one of the area's most prestigious locations.
Occupying a commanding position in one of the area's most sought-after locations, this exceptional five-bedroom detached residence enjoys breathtaking panoramic sea views and offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home brimming with original character and charm. Dating from the Art Deco era, the property retains a remarkable wealth of period features including elegant curved walls, original fireplaces, oak internal doors and striking bay windows, all of which combine to create a home of immense character and timeless appeal.
The accommodation is both generous and versatile, perfectly suited to modern family living. A welcoming entrance hall leads through to three impressive reception rooms, each enjoying its own individual charm. The principal lounge is a superb space, centred around a feature fireplace and enjoying stunning views across the bay through a large bay window. Sliding doors connect seamlessly to a delightful sun room, where expansive glazing frames the coastal outlook and creates the perfect place to relax throughout the year. A further sitting room provides an additional reception space, again benefiting from wonderful sea views and a beautiful original 1930s fireplace.
At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen and breakfast room fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry and complemented by a large walk-in pantry. Directly adjoining is a separate dining room, ideal for both family meals and entertaining on a larger scale. Practicality has also been carefully considered, with two cloakrooms, ample storage throughout and direct access to the integral double garage.
The first floor continues to impress, centred around a striking landing featuring an elegant curved wall and picture window. The principal bedroom enjoys truly spectacular views across the bay from its bay window and benefits from fitted wardrobes. Four further bedrooms provide excellent flexibility for larger families, guests or those seeking home office space, with many of the rooms enjoying sea or town views and retaining charming original features.
A beautifully preserved Art Deco bathroom serves the bedrooms, featuring a classic suite that perfectly complements the character of the property, whilst a separate WC provides additional convenience.
Outside, the property sits within generous wrap-around gardens that enjoy sunshine throughout the day. Well-maintained lawns, mature shrub borders and established planting create a wonderful setting, while paved seating areas provide the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the coastal outlook. A private driveway leads to the integral double garage, offering excellent parking and storage. Combining substantial accommodation, stunning sea views and an abundance of original character, this is a truly special home that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
