Martello House, Encombe

With the accolade of a WhatHouse? gold award, and a spectacular hillside setting, Martello House was constructed in 2020 forming part of the desirable Sandgate Pavilions. On entering the communal hallway, the luxurious finish gives a flavour of the high-quality finishes to be found within the apartments and Number 6 is no exception, showcasing stylish, light-filled rooms with contemporary interior design and a focus on the sea and wooded hillside views.

Part-glazed, double-doors open from the reception hall into the elegant sitting/dining room with the adjoining kitchen/ breakfast area, providing a convivial space where the impressive outlook towards the sea takes centre-stage. Adding character and dimension to the kitchen, fittings feature sleek two-tone cabinetry, and include stone work surfaces, integrated appliances and an island unit with breakfast bar which creates a subtle divide within the space. Picture windows ensure uninterrupted Channel views and two sets of glazed doors provide a seamless connection to the outdoor terraces.

The apartment has three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom having a luxurious en suite bathroom featuring a stylish freestanding tub and walk in shower; the room has sliding doors to the east-facing balcony. A smart shower room is accessed from the hallway, where a generous storage cupboard provides space to store outdoor wear and conceal domestic paraphernalia.
