Spacious 1920’s detached chalet bungalow situated in the heart of Seaton, a short walk from the town and beach with five double bedrooms, driveway and garden alongside spectacular coastal views.
6 Marlpit Lane is a deceptively spacious family home situated just a short walking distance from the town center, seafront and beach. This 1920’s chalet bungalow has plentiful character and original features throughout such as picture rails, solid wood doors and spacious rooms and has impressive sea and coastal views from nearly all areas in the house. The property boasts flexible living and accommodation on the ground floor with an open plan kitchen and dining space, alongside a separate living room, conservatory, family bathroom and two further double bedrooms. Upstairs are three more large double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside is the benefit of an additional office with store, alongside rear gardens and plentiful parking.
The front door provides entry to a large entrance hallway with Karndean flooring which spans the hall (and kitchen) providing access to all rooms. Immediately on the left is the living room which has windows to the front and side alongside a central open fireplace with brick surround and hearth.
At the end of the hallway is access to the open plan kitchen and dining room space which has beautiful east facing views toward Axe Cliff and Hawksdown Hill. The kitchen area is fully fitted with a range of wooden base and wall units, laminate worktops and sink, alongside space for a large five burner gas cooker with extractor over. There is an integrated dishwasher and wine cooler, and the Worcester gas central heating boiler is also concealed in the kitchen. An opening leads out to a further utility space which is fully fitted with additional base and wall storage with sink alongside space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer and large American style fridge freezer. A door leads out from the utility to the side passageway in the garden.
The dining area benefits from single glazed original double doors with steps leading out to the rear garden and an opening from the kitchen diner flows into the fully glazed conservatory sunroom with sliding doors out and views over the rear garden.
There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms downstairs- bedroom 4 faces the front with picture window making the most of the views beyond, whilst bedroom 5 is used as a family room/snug at present and overlooks the side of the property.
There is a fully fitted family bathroom with bath with electric shower over and additional mixer tap, heated towel rail, WC and vanity unit with wash hand basin alongside an additional separate cloakroom with WC, vanity unit and wash hand basin.
Stairs rise to the upper floor landing with access to a recently fitted contemporary bathroom with vanity unit with wash hand basin, WC and bath with thermostatic power shower. A louvre concertina door opens to the airing cupboard with slatted shelving which houses the vented hot water tank.
Bedroom 1 is an exceptionally large bedroom with panoramic sea, coastal and estuary views providing the real wow factor to the property. There is also access to the loft and step down into a further adjoining dressing room with access to eaves. Bedrooms 2 and 3 both face the front of the property and both benefit from integrated storage alongside dormer windows looking out toward the sea.
The property benefits from gas central heating with an integrated Hive home heating system and must be viewed to fully appreciate the space and views from within.
Outside:
To the front is a brick wall boundary bordering a large hard standing driveway with parking for multiple vehicles, alongside a small undercover open porch to the front of the bungalow. A pathway wraps around the side with red brick steps leading up to the front door and down the other side to the rear garden with low wooden fence.
Most of the rear garden is laid to lawn with a central pathway, a wooden fence border to one side and a composite fence border to the other. Immediately adjacent to the conservatory is a large, paved patio seating area perfect for alfresco dining, barbecuing and entertaining, bordered by some raised beds with a variety of fruit bushes. Behind and to the side of the bungalow is a log store, alongside a passageway with low wooden picket fence providing front to rear access, a bin storage area and hot and cold tap. Undercroft storage is situated below the dining room and accessed from the garden.
Outside garden room/office and workshop/store:
