The Beach House offers more than 2,000 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged in an upside-down configuration over two floors, designed to maximise the stunning southerly views from the rear aspect over the beach and The Solent. With an A grade energy rating, air source heat pump and solar panels, this energy efficient property is ideal as a family or holiday home, or for use as high-quality self-catering accommodation. The property is decorated in a neutral pallette throughout, and fixtures and fittings include pale Karndean flooring to create an elegant yet practical living and entertaining space. The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall with a modern cloakroom/family bathroom. It includes a principal bedroom with a freestanding rolltop bath positioned to enjoy views of the rear garden and coast, alongside a contemporary en suite shower room. There are four additional bedrooms — one with built-in storage and another, accessed via the family room, overlooking the rear patio. The ground floor is completed by a fitted utility room and a generous family room featuring wood-lined walls and bi-fold doors opening onto a sizeable part-covered patio and the rear garden beyond. Stairs rise from the reception hall to an extensive 38 ft open plan first floor room with wood-lined walls and a vaulted ceiling, which benefits from an en suite cloakroom and useful eaves storage running the full length of each side of the room. The space is configured to provide a front aspect kitchen with a range of contemporary base units, complementary work surfaces and splashbacks and modern integrated appliances together with drawing and dining areas with space for sizeable seating and dining areas, the current drawing area having patio doors to a 19ft rear aspect balcony overlooking the beach.

Outside

The property is approached via a gravel driveway that provides private off-street parking. The rear garden, a particular feature of this property, is gravelled both for ease of maintenance and to provide a seamless segue to the beach and features a sizeable paved patio area, part-covered by the first-floor balcony, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. The lovely rear garden is screened by mature shrubs and hedging and with a low-level wall separating the garden from the beach and The Solent beyond.
