There is also a useful study for home working, while towards the rear there is an impressive garden room with porcelain tiled flooring and bi-fold doors that open onto the rear terrace providing ideal space for al fresco dining. The dining room offers further generous reception space which adjoins the kitchen and breakfast room via bi-fold doors, creating a semi open-plan layout and a sociable space.

The ground floor is completed by two cloakrooms, one accessed via the integrated garage.

The first floor can be accessed via two staircases with the main staircase leading to four well presented double bedrooms, including the luxury principal bedroom which has a dressing room, Juliet balcony overlooking the rear garden, and contemporary en suite bathroom. One further bedroom also has an en suite, while there is also a family shower room on this floor. The additional staircase leads to a generous 26ft bedroom above the garage which has skylights overhead and a Juliet balcony welcoming plenty of natural light. With its adjoining shower room this bedroom could provide guest accommodation or alternatively be used as an additional reception space with the room currently set up as a games room. Planning permission has been granted to extend the property into the roof to create a large principal bedroom suite with sea views.
