Read the full agent description

Dating from 1911, this distinctive residence combines impressive proportions with a wealth of original detail, creating a home of genuine presence and lasting appeal. The accommodation is welcoming and filled with natural light, with a layout that offers both elegance and practicality for modern living.

The principal reception spaces are a particular strength. Two beautifully proportioned reception rooms enjoy delightful outlooks and make the most of the home’s elevated position. One opens through patio doors onto the front garden terrace, creating an easy connection between inside and out and providing an inviting setting for everyday living as well as entertaining. Throughout the house, retained period features add depth and character, reinforcing the individuality of the property.

The kitchen breakfast room is notably spacious and designed to work well as an everyday hub of the home, with excellent storage, generous workspace, and attractive views across the gardens. A large utility room and separate cloakroom add further practicality, helping the house function as comfortably as it presents.
On the first floor there are four well proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The outlook from this level is a consistent feature, with several rooms enjoying the far reaching coastal and countryside views that give the house such a special sense of position. On the upper floor, an impressive additional suite with further bathroom facilities provides excellent flexibility, whether used as a principal bedroom, guest accommodation, or a more private retreat away from the main body of the house.

Gardens & Grounds
The grounds make a significant contribution to the overall appeal. Off road parking leads to a detached double garage with electric roller doors and a side pedestrian door. Two brick built storage rooms to the rear of the house provide further useful space. The mature landscaped gardens have clearly been thoughtfully developed over time, with expansive lawns, stone terraces, and a variety of seating areas arranged to enjoy the setting and views. Established and unusual planting brings year round colour and interest, giving the outside space a feeling of maturity, privacy, and care that is increasingly hard to find.
