This substantial six-bedroom detached seafront house occupies a huge, private plot on Hill Head with uninterrupted coastal views and direct sense of seaside living. At approximately 7,160 sq ft the home offers generous, flexible family living across multiple wings, extensive terrace and decked balcony space, a heated indoor/outdoor pool and a dedicated gym — ideal for a large household who value space and coastal lifestyle.
Practical strengths include a triple garage and wide driveway with significant off-street parking, double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas central heating and solar panels that reduce running costs. Planning permission is already in place for further extension and for a separate dwelling, presenting clear scope to increase value or create ancillary accommodation (subject to conditions). The plot is protected by a Tree Preservation Order, which preserves screening but may limit some landscaping works.
The house blends contemporary and traditional finishes; it sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and reasonable commuting links via the M27. Local schools include several rated Good and one highly ranked independent school nearby — a practical draw for families.
Notable considerations: the property is very large and would benefit from internal modernisation or reconfiguration to unlock its full market potential, which will require investment. Council tax is very expensive. While coastal, the location is assessed as no flooding risk. Buyers should factor in costs and permissions associated with any further development despite existing planning approvals.
