Why you’ll like it:

In a sought after, prosperous area with a friendly community which has a What’s App group, enjoys street parties and has the vibrant Church Road around the corner, this property is pretty as a picture, tucked away behind an historic gate post and a large front garden, which some neighbours have made private by fencing. Radiating charm complete with a scented climber by the door it looks very traditional outside (although the custom made timber windows are energy efficient) and inside, a central hallway has wood underfoot and a deep storeroom, which was once a bathroom with concealed plumbing to prove it.
Bright and cheerful, the elegant reception is an inviting retreat to return to. Family and friend friendly, it has laminate flooring and plenty of space where guests can unwind in rare seclusion and enjoy the leafy view and a sleek, contemporary fire which ignites at the flick of a switch.

Across the hallway, the kitchen diner is ideal for entertaining, and with an engineered oak floor, practical work surfaces and ample storage in the attractive shaker units it is good to go. Well planned, integrated appliances include a touch induction hob, discreet hood and both a combi/grill and oven, and the careful design has acknowledged its unique west orientation with French Doors to the patio – so the room glows in the colours of the setting sun opposite. There is a fridge freezer and drier, a washing machine and dishwasher in place for your ease.

Child and pet secure, a lit, scented patio is a secret oasis ideal for entertaining in the afternoon and evening sunshine. With space for al fresco dining and a bike store, a flower bed at the south end is planted for all year interest with a bonus of a glamorous water feature, so it is easy to forget that you are just minutes away from the heart of a famous, international coastal resort!

Up beneath a window to bring light into the heart of the home, on each side of the first floor landing you are spoilt for choice as both peaceful rooms are beautiful with restful views. To the right, the generous double room is used for visitors. Simple but stylish with a deep closet and under eave storage, its chic en-suite has glitter panels in the walk in shower, a vanity unit beneath the hand basin and a lit mirror above it.

Across the hall, the principal suite is a dream come true with ample floorspace to play with and calm decoration. All about relaxing in a serene setting, it is not overlooked as lower buildings opposite the front garden and leafy avenue reveal a sea of gardens. Ramping up the glamour, the design-led en-suite shower room has a dual head shower system, a large lit mirror, a streamlined, curved vanity unit, a shaving point and lovely warm rails for towels. Perfect.
