Description
A rare opportunity to live in an exquisitely designed and considered coastal house with uninterrupted sea views offering privacy and calm in a peaceful location yet still within walking distance of amenities. EPC: B.
The Property - The house was built in 2006 of a rigid lightweight steel substructure with deep piles into the hillside with larch cladding and an inverted zinc roof supporting PV solar cells. Aluminium Schuco windows throughout are of the highest quality. It was later extended in 2018 adding the upstairs space, staircase and glass atrium. Designed to suit a couple rather than those needing lots of bedrooms, the space has been carefully curated to enjoy living in every space within it's beautiful landscape.
Accommodation - On entering the property, the open plan entrance hall flows into the living and dining areas with a central fireplace with wood-burning stove for cosy winter nights. The full-length glass doors perfectly frame the spectacular garden and sea view and can be slid aside to create a seamless continuation between house and garden. A sun terrace stretches across the back of the house accomplishing the perfect outdoor seating and dining area to enjoy the garden with the sea as your backdrop and the sound of the waves below.
The kitchen is contemporary in style with Neolith worktops, soft close drawers, hidden storage, built in dishwasher, Neff built in eye level oven, Neff ceiling flush extractor and Neff large induction hob. Natural stone floor flows seamlessly between the kitchen and enviable walk-in larder.
A library or study has been cleverly designed with adjustable book cases creating a semi-private space to work or read. From here, a door leads to the winter garden, a glass garden room designed to house tender plants all year round providing a tranquil space to potter or sit in the colder months. The glazing is entirely bespoke with two temperature and rain sensitive automatically controlled panels.
The principle bedroom is located on the ground floor and adjacent to a walk-in wardrobe with bespoke shelving. Waking to the view of the garden through the full-length sliding glass doors ensures a good start to the day.
The luxurious bathroom with free standing bath and walk-in shower has a large picture window overlooking the enclosed atrium planted with mature ferns. The floor and walls are adorned tumbled white Italian marble.
The second bedroom on the first floor enjoys far reaching views over Lyme Bay towards Portland via the picture windows and sliding glass doors onto a large balcony overlooking the garden. Serviced by a beautiful en suite bathroom with walk-in shower.
Garden - The garden has been beautifully tiered with a meandering path leading you through the subtropical planting scheme to seating areas positioned to take in the best of the Southerly aspect. Having won several local awards and recently featured on Gardeners World, this is a truly special place for those seeking to enjoy complete tranquillity amongst plants and flowers which ordinarily could not be grown owing to the micro-climate and atmosphere here.
Amongst the ferns and palms at the lower section of garden sits a hidden studio room offering a quiet hideaway to read a book, or even work from home as well as a greenhouse to bring on seedlings and tender plants.
Parking And Driveway - The property is entered via double electric gates onto a granite cobbled driveway with parking for two vehicles with an additional space in the single garage. The garage has an electric door and an internal door into the house. There is plumbing and space for a washing machine and dryer in the garage as well as a large Belfast sink.
