Read the full agent description
Set high within approximately three acres, Sylvendie is an impressive four-bedroom detached home enjoying rural tranquillity, far-reaching countryside and wonderful sea views. Built around 20 years ago, it offers generous, flexible accommodation, extensive gardens and an additional plot with lapsed planning permission for a further house.
Approached by a long driveway, the elevated position makes the most of the surrounding landscape and coastal views. A welcoming vestibule leads into a spacious hall with WC. The front-facing sitting room features a bay window with sea views, while double doors lead to the separate dining room. To the rear, the spacious kitchen offers ample dining space, fitted cabinetry and a Rangemaster cooker, with sliding doors to the garden. A separate utility room provides further storage and garden access. There are four well-proportioned double bedrooms on the ground floor, all with built-in storage. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room, while a spacious family bathroom with separate bath and shower completes this level.
Upstairs, the officially converted attic provides further flexible living space, with wonderful views and a striking gable-end picture window. It could be used as a sitting room or bedroom, with a large shower room allowing it to work well as a private suite.
Outside, the approximately three-acre grounds include generous front and rear gardens, predominantly laid to lawn, with a patio for outdoor dining and entertaining. A wooden gazebo with hot tub provides a wonderful place to relax, while the substantial multi-car driveway offers excellent parking. A single garage provides useful additional storage.
An additional plot within the grounds previously benefited from planning permission for a further dwelling, although this has now lapsed. Subject to the necessary consents, this offers further potential.
With its elevated position, spectacular outlooks, generous grounds and flexible accommodation, Sylvendie offers a rare opportunity to enjoy space, privacy and countryside living within easy reach of the coast and local amenities.
