Description

On approaching this substantial home, you are greeted by an impressive frontage, accessed through high double hardwood gates that open onto a generous brick-paved driveway providing ample parking. This entrance area beautifully integrates a covered carport and an attached garage with an automated remote-control door. The front approach is framed by neatly maintained lawns, a variety of established shrubs, and a paved veranda dressed with potted palms and greenery, offering a wonderful hint of the mature, Mediterranean-style garden found to the rear.

Inside, character and practicality combine seamlessly across the spacious, light-filled accommodation, where almost every room is positioned to enjoy the spectacular sea and country aspect. On the ground floor, a welcoming reception hall leads to a generous living and dining room featuring a gas wood burning flame effect fireplace and idyllic bi-folding doors that open into two expansive, interconnected conservatories. The beautifully appointed kitchen forms the true heart of the home, complete with wall and base units with granite worktops over, a traditional gas Aga, a cosy snug, and a dedicated office nook. This level also hosts a practical utility/shower room, a main family bathroom, and a double bedroom featuring direct access to an idyllic glass and chrome balcony.

The first-floor houses two further substantial double bedrooms, both benefiting from en-suite facilities and private outdoor spaces. This includes an exceptional principal suite complete with a panoramic side balcony and a romantic Juliet balcony, offering an unparalleled personal vantage point over the stunning coastline.

Externally, the beautifully landscaped, south facing, mature gardens are a defining feature of the property, designed in a Mediterranean style and arranged over a series of terraced levels. Facing the sea, these grounds offer private brick-paved entertaining areas, hidden garden retreats, palm trees, and vibrant shrubbery, supported by a garden shed and basement storage. The property is securely approached through double hardwood gates opening onto a brick-paved driveway with ample parking, a carport, and an integral garage with an automated door.
