Absolute Wellswood are proud to introduce Apartment 3 at Sonny Rae Villa, an exceptional ground floor apartment within an exclusive new development of 11 stunning apartments by the award-winning, family-owned builders McCarthy Homes.
Positioned on Thurlow Road in a discreet cul-de-sac setting, the development enjoys an elevated aspect with sea views across the Bay from various vantage points. Sonny Rae Villa itself is a striking Victorian residence that has been rebuilt from the ground up — retaining its original architectural presence and elegant proportions, yet delivering the specification, efficiency and refinement expected of a 21st-century home.
Apartment 3 occupies the entry level floor and benefits from lift access to all floors, a secure video entry system and private video communications within the apartment and automated gated access — ideal for those seeking a secure lock-and-leave coastal base.
A beautifully proportioned ground floor apartment forming part of the original villa, retaining elegant period proportions whilst benefiting from a high-quality contemporary specification throughout.
Accessed via a secure communal entrance with lift access to all floors, the apartment opens into a welcoming reception hallway leading to spacious and well-balanced accommodation. A particular feature of the property is the impressive lounge/dining room, enhanced by Victorian-style high ceilings and a large bay window which floods the room with natural light whilst enjoying pleasant open views across the town.
The adjoining kitchen has been thoughtfully designed and fitted with a comprehensive range of contemporary units and integrated appliances including induction hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and freezer, creating a practical and stylish environment for modern living.
There are two generous double bedrooms, both offering comfortable and versatile accommodation. The apartment is served by a luxurious four-piece bathroom/WC incorporating both a bath and separate shower enclosure, together with a separate cloakroom/WC, providing additional convenience for residents and guests alike.
Further benefits include lift access, UPVC double glazing, gas central heating, a video entry system, useful storage cupboards and floor coverings throughout, allowing purchasers to move straight in and enjoy their new home from day one.
Apartment 3 combines the character and proportions associated with a period villa with the convenience and efficiency of modern apartment living, making it an attractive proposition for downsizers, professionals, second-home purchasers and those seeking a low maintenance coastal residence.
Externally, the development provides allocated parking for one vehicle with electric charging point, cycle storage and a dedicated recycling area. The main villa stands proud lime washed and architecturally impressive — housing a small number of spacious apartments within an exclusive setting.
