About this listing
This property was one of nine homes built by the Admiralty around 1905 to house senior Naval Officers returning from overseas postings to enjoy their retirement. Occupying a prominent corner plot, it has vehicular access from Beach Road via a five-bar gate to a driveway with parking for several cars, as well as access from West Road via an electric gate to further parking and a car/boat port. Over the last 13 years, the house has been extensively modernised and beautifully remodelled, including rewiring, replumbing and a new roof, to create a superb turnkey family home. Many original features have been retained, including the glass veranda with black and white tiled floor on two sides of the property and fireplaces in the drawing room and study, blending period character with contemporary additions. The kitchen/dining area forms the hub of the home, stylishly fitted with a large central island incorporating a breakfast bar, a range of storage cupboards, integrated appliances and a Quooker tap. Modern additions include log burners in the kitchen, family room and TV room and a south facing 2.6kW ( estimated annual generation 2174 kWh) Solar PV array on the roof of the family room. Key Features • Substantial period family home originally built by the Admiralty around 1905. • Extensively modernised and remodelled over the last 13 years. • Elegant, retained features, including the glass veranda and original fireplaces. • Impressive kitchen/dining hub with an island unit, breakfast bar and integrated appliances. • Professionally landscaped gardens with outdoor kitchen, terrace, pergola and lighting. • Detached studio/home office with cloakroom, plus generous parking and car/boat port. Ground Floor The ground floor is designed around comfortable, sociable living. A welcoming drawing room (25'5 x 14'1) provides a wonderfully light reception space, while the adjoining TV room (14'11 x 14'1) offers a more intimate retreat. At the heart of the home, the impressive kitchen/dining room (26'7 x 21'2) is a fantastic space for family meals and gatherings, flowing through to a delightful family room (18'9 x 15'9) that floods the rear of the house with natural light and leads onto an outdoor entertaining area with open fire, gas barbecue and pizza oven. A separate study and utility room add valuable everyday practicality. First and Second Floors Upstairs, the property offers exceptional flexibility across four bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a standout feature at an impressive 29'0 x 14'11, complemented by generous walk-in wardrobes and en-suite facilities. The guest bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and bedrooms 3 & 4 offer further well-proportioned accommodation, each well served by a family bathroom. On the second floor, bedroom 3 (17'11 x 17'9) makes for a perfect teenage retreat, with the benefit of useful eaves storage. Outside The gardens have been professionally designed and landscaped, including a large terrace with open fireplace and built-in kitchen with gas barbecue and pizza oven. A steel pergola with remote-controlled louvres covers the kitchen and dining area, extending its seasonal use in both spring and autumn. The front garden is beautifully laid out with lawn, masses of white hydrangea paniculata, and a row of pleached Portuguese laurel trees along the boundary to Beach Road. Both the front and rear gardens are equipped with an automatic irrigation system for the borders and lawns, together with light-sensitive floodlighting to the borders and a row of silver birch trees. At the end of the garden behind screen fencing there is a greenhouse and 3 raised beds for vegetables and soft fruit. To one corner of the garden, near the parking area accessed from West Road, is a detached studio/home office with its own cloakroom and terrace overlooking the garden. It is approached via a floodlit path and pergola, providing an ideal space for remote working, creative use or guest overflow. Two further garden outbuildings/sheds provide excellent additional storage and a car/boat port adjoining the studio has the benefit of wiring for an EV charging point.
