During the summer, the owners spend most of their time outside on a big, raised, decked balcony accessed from the superb large conservatory and generous-sized kitchen/breakfast room.These inside and outside areas flow beautifully to create a great space to circulate in when entertaining or having a family celebration.Beyond the deck is a neatly lawned, well-enclosed garden with shrub borders and a corner deck at one end which is perfect for barbecues.The good-sized frontage, reached via electronic gates, is smartly block-paved with plentiful parking space and side access to a pitched-roof garage with power and light.Accommodation has mostly easy-on-the-eye neutral decor and is accessed via a spacious entrance hall with mellow engineered wooden flooring and a cupboard beneath stairs to the first floor.Centrepiece of the front-facing sitting room is a large brick fireplace with stone hearth housing a woodburning stove.French doors open to the dining room with a sliding door to the sumptuously carpeted, double-glazed conservatory, an airy 16ft by 16ft space with a garden outlook.Also with a garden outlook is the tile-floored kitchen/breakfast room with a range of wooden units, built-in gas hob and double oven, integrated dishwasher and plenty of space for a breakfast table.Matching units are fitted in the utility room, off which has tiled flooring, plumbing for a washing machine and a WC off.The ground floor also includes a front-facing study.On the first floor is the fresh-looking family bathroom with a contemporary white suite, white tiled walls and floor and a feature glass block wall toning with a blue mosaic-tiled inset band.Big sunny bedroom one with a Juliet balcony and bedroom four are rear-facing with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.Bedrooms five and six — one of them with an en-suite shower room — have front sea views.The fabulous second floor bedrooms are bright and spacious with partly angled ceilings, built-in storage, an en-suite shower room and french doors to their own balcony.One measures 20ft by 11ft and has a delightful rear outlook as well as panoramic sea views.
