Whether you are looking for a permanent marine residence or a stunning holiday and weekend seaside home, this unique detached and potentially multi-generational property nestled on a generous plot of 0.2999 of an acre, could be top of your list. It was originally built in the late 1970s/early 1980s and has been considerably extended since then with plenty of flexible accommodation and has also been designed internally to take full advantage of the uninterrupted and panoramic views across the Blue Flag Botany Bay. The property is approached along a private road and accessed through large automatic wrought iron entrance gates that open onto a vast block paved frontage where you can park numerous vehicles. With its cathedral style pointed windows and glass balconies on the first floor plus an attractive covered entrance porch and contemporary front door, the house has great appeal even before you walk inside. But once across the threshold the spaciousness of this charming modern property becomes even more apparent. There is a lobby with a double storage cupboard, oak stairs to the first floor, half height panelling and oak flooring that flows through much of the property and glazed double doors to the hall. This leads to the good sized, dual aspect sitting room with a patterned stone fireplace and a coal effect gas fire as well as sliding doors to the terrace and glazed double doors to the dining room that also has access to the garden and folding doors to the ground floor kitchen. Here you will find a raft of Shaker style wood units housing an integrated dishwasher, fridge and freezer plus a large storage cupboard and stand-alone laundry facilities. The light and bright double bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom/shower room, walk-in wardrobe and patio doors to the rear terrace whilst the plant room and large study at the front of the property incorporates Italian porcelain tiled flooring. This has wide patio doors to the front driveway and is ideal for anyone working from home as, not only does it offer delightful views to the sea, but it means business visitors do not need to go into the rest of the home. However part, or all, of the ground floor could become a separate apartment for adult children or older relatives as it already has all the facilities needed to create an independent home and also because it is the first floor where the current owners spend much of their time. When you walk up the stairs, you will understand why. Firstly you are greeted by a very large galleried landing that provides a wonderful seating area where you can sit and revel in the panoramic vista through the three cathedral style windows and secondly there is the awe-inspiring 41.3ft kitchen/ family area with windows on all sides that consists of a kitchen with breakfast bar as well as dining and seating areas and is the true ‘hub of the household’. To add to this it offers stunning sea views through wide patio doors that lead to a curved decked front balcony as well as additional patio doors that open onto a rear curved balcony overlooking the garden. It also includes a trendy log burner that heats the whole upstairs. The kitchen was designed and installed by Umbermaster and has very contemporary “driftwood” style units with granite worktops housing a Miele gas hob, built in Neff ovens and microwave, fridge and freezer, dishwasher and wine cooler as well as a peninsular breakfast bar. This floor also includes a family bathroom and three double bedrooms with fitted cupboards including one with sliding doors to the rear balcony with external spiral staircase that leads down to the garden. The superb triple aspect main bedroom has built in wardrobes, an en suite wet room and bi-fold doors front and back, with a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden and the private front balcony where you can sip your morning coffee while enjoying the views. Although the rear garden is quite large it is extremely easy to manage and is ideal for those with leisure and pleasure in mind. It includes a wraparound terrace for outdoor entertaining as well as an 11m heated swimming pool with a cantilevered ‘roof’ that can be opened when the sun is shining but closed when it is not, so you get the best of both worlds. There is also a charming summerhouse and a very large detached outbuilding currently in use as a gym with a vaulted ceiling, bamboo wood flooring and a wall of sliding doors to the garden that could always become an office, studio or games room. The garden has a Mediterranean feel with its jasmine covered pergola, raised shrub beds, olive, bay and palm trees, while the large lawn is ideal for kids to kick a ball around. The property includes 32 solar panels on the roof and on the gym generating approximately 12kw and giving the surplus back to the grid. There is also fibre optic high speed broadband, Sonos ceiling speakers providing surround sound, alarm systems, Hive, remote control shutters and remote control front gate access. Features: - Garden
