Description
Tucked away at the end of a long private driveway on the fringes of the highly sought-after village of Seaview, this enchanting 18th-century character home offers an exceptional blend of period charm, privacy, and space. Nestled within 0.59 acres of mature, secluded grounds, the property presents a rare opportunity to own a truly unique and versatile home in an idyllic coastal setting.
The original home dates back to 1780, with extensions added in 1824, and then further extended in the 1980s to create additional living space whilst preserving its original architectural essence, the home exudes character at every turn. One of its most striking features is the octagonal-shaped formal dining room, a stunning space with soaring ceilings, perfect for entertaining. Directly beneath it sits another distinctive octagonal room currently used as a fourth bedroom, but provides flexible space for use as a home office or hobby / playroom.
Set across three floors with a series of charming split levels, the layout has been cleverly designed to offer privacy and tranquility. Each of the four double bedrooms is thoughtfully positioned in different areas of the home, making it ideal for families, guests, or multi-generational living.
Upon entry, a spacious hallway leads to the elegant dual-aspect sitting room, where natural light floods in through large windows, offering delightful views of the surrounding gardens. The current owners have fitted an attractive wood-burning stove, with Welsh slate and granite hearth and limestone mantle and surround, providing opulence to this lovely room. The dining room fireplace has been fitted with a new gas fire and granite hearth. The main hallway provides access to a cloakroom and a short staircase leading to the beautifully proportioned second bedroom. At the opposite end, stairs ascend to the generous master suite, complete with a luxurious modern Jack and Jill bathroom featuring both bath and shower facilities.
The heart of the home is the light-filled breakfast room, which flows effortlessly into a well-appointed kitchen. Designed with the home chef in mind, the kitchen features ample storage and workspace within its smart modern units, while the adjacent utility room offers additional functionality. Leading off from the breakfast area is a large garden room, a peaceful retreat perfect for enjoying morning coffee or unwinding with garden views.
Bedroom three and the stylish family bathroom are conveniently located off the breakfast room, while a short flight of stairs descends to bedroom four.
Outside, the grounds envelop the home, with mature shrubs and trees providing exceptional privacy. Manicured front, side, and rear gardens create a serene outdoor haven, ideal for al fresco dining, children’s play, or simply soaking up the peaceful ambiance. Ample off-road parking is provided at the front of the property.
This exceptional home combines architectural individuality with practical family living, all within a peaceful yet well-connected location. Just minutes from the vibrant heart of Seaview and its beautiful beaches, and with easy access to local amenities and transport links, it offers the perfect balance of rural charm and modern convenience.
