Finished to a high standard and positioned on a private corner plot, this executive four-double-bedroom detached house is tailored for family living with strong coastal appeal. Large open-plan living areas and a high-spec kitchen flow to an enclosed courtyard and an 18ft heated pool with swim jet and retractable cover — ideal for fitness, entertaining and family downtime. Several outbuildings add practical flexibility: a home office, outdoor kitchen, two-person sauna and useful storage/utility rooms.
The main bedroom enjoys a private balcony with sea views, a walk-in closet and a luxury en suite; three further double bedrooms and two family bathrooms provide generous accommodation. Roof-mounted solar panels and modern heating keep running costs lower, but note the property sits in a broadly very deprived area despite being in a comfortable neighbourhood classification nearby.
Practical points to consider: council tax is described as expensive and the property’s cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation (original build era 1950–66), which may mean further insulation works could be beneficial. The attic room has limited ceiling height and is best suited to storage or occasional use rather than a full-height bedroom. Parking is off-street for two cars behind electric gates.
Offered freehold and chain-free, this property will suit growing families or buyers seeking a turnkey coastal home with strong leisure features and flexible outbuildings. It’s an attractive, well-presented home but buyers should factor potential insulation improvements and the local council-tax and area-economic context into their plans.
