4 Bedroom Detached House

What’s On Offer?
This exemplary detached home epitomises contemporary family living and is perfectly positioned within walking distance of superb local amenities and of course, our beautiful sandy beaches! With four first-floor bedrooms, a large open plan living-kitchen-diner space plus a separate reception room, utility room, and a summerhouse, it’s safe to say this home ticks some boxes! Impressive and welcoming from the moment you step inside, the cleverly designed interior blends modern finishes and tech, with a homely feeling and a layout that fits busy family life. Well proportioned rooms on both ground and first floors make allocating kids/ guests to bedrooms a breeze, with plenty of bathrooms for busy mornings, parties and when hosting the whole family!

Inside.
An expansive entrance hallway sets the tone for the rest of this expansive house, with lots of space to kick off your coats and shoes, organise the kids and also as space for general storage! We particularly love the oak and glass staircase leading to the first floor. From here, you can access the main open-plan living kitchen dining space, the second reception room, the integral garage, or peel off left towards the downstairs shower room and utility…

A spacious shower roos is great for guests, muddy kids and pets, hard-working gardeners and for when hosting parties! Aqua panels keep maintenance low, a powerful extractor fan works alongside an opening window, there's a hidden cistern toilet and the large walk in rain shower with a sunken tray. Some may even look to incorporate the adjacent garage into an integral annexe.
A plant room for the heating system, internet, solar controls, air source gubbins and water softener is next, followed by a very handy utility room. The utility is away from the main living area, keeping the noisy white goods, clutter and extra fridge-freezers out of sight. There’s also a range of storage units to hide away clutter.

The front reception room here is massive! Currently used as a games room, with the ability to be opened up to the main living space with wide concertina doors, or closed off for a cosy movie and games night activities! This room has been cleverly designed with access to the side garden via aluminium bifold doors and it’s bright throughout the day thanks to dual aspect windows. All windows/doors have built-in magnet blinds for easy privacy.

Showstopper.
This is where you live, entertain guests, feed your family and…relax.

The two tone kitchen is from Benchmark, with some clever customisation to hide away clutter. Integral appliances include Double Neff ovens, Neff induction hob with extractor over, fridge freezer and a full size dishwasher. Above the stainless sink sits a Quooker instant hot water tap that also delivers filtered, chilled water. Storage is aplenty, with high and low cupboards, full-length pull out larder, cupboards on both sides of the large island breakfast bar PLUS there’s an extra separate storage unit that also houses both a wine cooler and beer fridge. Here you’ll find one of two ‘Control4’ tablet panels (one on each floor) for app connected lights, sockets, Sonos surround sound ceiling speakers, CCTV and more.

When you’re not at the breakfast bar, you might be over in the dining area, looking out to the rear garden. This space easily takes a large family dining set. The lounge area will hold large sofas and a TV unit, which is already wired for TV surround sound. LED spotlights are segmented and controlled in separate banks, so you can create just the perfect mood.

With three sets of bifold aluminium patio doors opening onto the garden, this is the definition of an indoor-outdoor space that changes how you interact with your home. As with the front room, these doors have integral magnet blinds and you can feel the quality.

Outside.
There’s a driveway big enough for several cars/vans, plus an integral garage that’s large enough to store your special vehicles, sports equipment and more. Gravel gives way to large porcelain tiles, leading to the storm porch. Everything is secure behind electronically controlled gates and a pedestrian door, where CCTV and a door entry system allows remote access. Lockable side access is crucial for bringing gardening items, messy kids and sports gear round the back. It’s also ideal as private access to the front reception room, if it were used as a downstairs bedroom!

The rear garden is laid to lawn and porcelain tiles, with shrub borders, raised sleeper borders and a gorgeous eucalyptus tree! It wraps around both sides of the house, creating different ‘zones’ to enjoy. 
There’s a place for the BBQ, space for your outside dining setup, a spot to catch the last rays of sun late into the evening and once the sun does dip away, your outside down-lights will flick on.

Another exciting offering is the summerhouse. A versatile, insulated and kitted-out space that was home to the sellers when refurbishing the house! There’s a kitchen, shower room with toilet and sink and space for a bed. It’s officially a summer house, but it’s perfect for sleepovers, guests, as a craft room, yoga studio, gymnasium! There’s also a standalone shed in the corner.

On The First Floor.
A large landing gives access to all rooms and opens to the sun terrace via large sliding doors. The terrace spans right across the master bedroom, a unique design that features two sets of sliding doors, plus a window into the bedroom. With sea views, a Westerly orientation and more space than you’d expect, this balcony is the perfect for breakfasts, an ideal reading spot and great for evening cocktails in the evening sun. In the master bedroom and you’ll be surprised with the space here too, devoid of clutter thanks to a dreamy dressing room complete with floor to ceiling wardrobes and a window. The en suite shower room is a comfortable size, with aqua panelling and sunken shower tray, Grohe fixings and large opening window.

Two further double bedrooms are square in shape to easily place furniture and a fourth bedroom has a bespoke gable window facing West, another south facing window and is currently configured as a snug/office. There's crucial eaves storage in several rooms.
A family bathroom features a large free standing soaking tub AND a walk in shower and a heated towel rail. As with all bathrooms in the home, there’s a large opening window and an extractor fan.
The first floor also has underfloor heating, freeing up wall space where radiators would typically be and keeping the house efficient.

Agent Notes.
Ask our team for a full spec-sheet to learn the ins and outs of the tech built into this home. You'll have just the right amount of tech, that actually works. Nothing too complicated; the sellers installed what they were genuinely going to use every day.
This attention to detail is only found in homes that were built by owners, for themselves. Everything is a considered choice, from hidden guttering that gives a cleaner aesthetic, to the window-integrated blinds that completely remove the need to dust and the level LVT flooring and wider doors throughout. The sellers even commissioned a first-fit for an EV charger in the garage…future proofed for them, and now for you. All TWELVE Solar panels are owned and NOT on a lease plan.
