Description
Martins Mead has recently benefited from a new extension and complete renovation. It has been finished to an exceptional standard and high quality specification throughout, with many practical features for modern coastal living.
On arrival you step into the spacious reception hall, with doors leading off to the additional reception room and downstairs cloakroom and utility. The large carpeted additional reception room has sea views, and could be used as a second lounge, play room, office or 5th bedroom. The utility room has fitted cupboards and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is ample space in the hall for shoes and coats, with an oak and glass staircase to the first floor.
Walking through the hall, you enter the huge open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, with beautiful oak parquet flooring. This delightful and extensive space has a triple aspect, with stunning coastal views from both the kitchen and living areas. There are patio doors which open onto the large dining terrace, with steps up to the garden. The fully fitted brand new kitchen includes a tall larder fridge, tall larder freezer, 5 ring induction hob, dishwasher, twin Miele ovens and a wine cooler. This room also benefits from a new wood burner.
The stairs leading from the reception hall take you to an upstairs landing, with oak and glass balustrade. There are four large double bedrooms, 3 of which enjoy the stunning coastal outlook, and 2 have individually designed en suite shower rooms. Here is an example of the exceptional attention to detail taken with this home, with even the toilets being positioned to make the most of the spectacular sea views.
A family bathroom with bath, and overhead shower, completes the upstairs.
Gardens and grounds
The small front landscaped garden makes for a delightful welcome to the house. The rear outside space to Martins Mead is usefully gated; double timber gates at the side of the house lead to the private off road parking, with space for 3 cars.
