Detached house for sale in Bexhill-on-Sea TN39, 5 Bedroom

Description We are pleased to offer to the market this stunning and contemporary seafront property in this highly desirable location on Cooden Beach, Bexhill - On - Sea.

This recently extended and restyled detached residence has made the most of its southerly outlook with private direct access to the beach offering unrivalled opportunities for aquatic leisure enthusiasts.

As you turn into the driveway it is clear 'Stella Maris' is a one off. Utmost care has been taken to ensure its design exudes quality and this is evident from the start with the front elevation. Features include the Kloeber 'Funky Front Door', angled curtain walling plus casement windows and French doors.

Stepping through the front door you will be amazed by the amount of space and light which is enhanced by the Velux electric self-closing roof lights set within the vaulted ceiling. As part of the rebuild 3 years ago one of the best decisions the sellers made was to finish the floors with the 'Paramo Noce' porcelain wood effect floor tiles which continue throughout the ground floor. The new build ground floor rooms, also benefiting from a water based underfloor zoned heating system.

Immediately to the left beyond two large internal windows lies the home office, complete with CAT6 wiring and with a further window overlooking the water feature in the front garden, it is a bright and calm room, an ideal space from which to conduct your business. Beyond the office and up a couple of stairs the hallway continues, to a cloakroom complete with WC and wash hand basin. Now things get really interesting, whilst stairs on the right serve rooms to the west, the hallway continues to the left and serves the rooms to the east.

In front the double doors open through to the hub of the home.

A wonderfully flexible arrangement of rooms covering the rear of the property, every effort has been taken to ensure the views are all encompassing and with the vaulted ceilings, patio doors and high windows this space is light and bright all year round. The formal dining room is open with the day lounge; features include a 'Morso' Scandinavian log burner, bespoke floating shelves, and very large aluminium patio doors produced as a special order by Everest.

The porcelain floor tiles continue through to the kitchen and breakfast room in the eastern rear of the property which is also partly open plan with the dining room and day lounge, and takes full advantage of the southerly sea views with patio doors again opening out onto the garden. The kitchen comes complete with integrated appliances; fridge, freezer, dishwasher and 'Bosch' double oven and hob.

There is a door leading out from the kitchen to the hallway from which the utility room can be found, a very useful space which helps keep the rest of the house organised with the added benefit of an external side door. The hallway continues down a few steps and opens out into the beautifully designed sitting room. An ideal room in which to retire to at the end of a long day; the owners installed a feature gas fire with a Rosal Limestone hearth and surround. This dual aspect living room has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the front garden and facing to the west enjoys the colours from beautiful sunsets.

Completing the ground floor is the games room, (potential guest suite). This room utilised by the owners as a games room is set a little lower than the day lounge and has doors leading out to a sheltered rear patio area. An en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe provides the potential to make this an ideal guest suite. This lower level also boasts plenty of storage cupboards, the boiler room, a further cloakroom and access to the double garage.

Above the garage and games room you will find three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The master suite is of course occupying the rear and comes with a balcony overlooking the sea. For a house of this quality the master certainly doesn't disappoint coming complete with walk in wardrobe and ensuite shower room. Two further double bedrooms overlook the front garden, whilst a bathroom and a shower room can be utilised as en-suites but still accessed from the landing.

The new first floor east consists of a substantial bedroom, hobby room, play room and 'Jack & Jill' bathroom. This split level space is unique and benefits from a number of additional Velux self closing roof lights assisting with the ventilation and continuing to provide natural light. The main features include a Juliette balcony to the bedroom and the bathroom is simply exquisite with its pebble bath and wet room shower.

Outside I have already alluded to certain sections of the garden, culminating in the path leading out onto the beach. Predominantly laid to lawn but with an extensive patio area reaching from the breakfast room all the way across the day lounge and down to the guest suite / games room. A grey picket fence and glass panels separate the upper lawn from the lower lawn which slopes down the shallow cliff face to the beach. Here an alcove has been formed to provide sheltered but sun-trapped seating, ideal for sunbathing or enjoying the beach. The garden enjoys a sublime outlook across the sea, extending to the west across Pevensey Bay, to Eastbourne and Beachy head. If you were that way inclined you have the ability to construct a boat house in the cliff face, or even a swimming pool on the upper lawn.

Stella Maris is situated only a couple of miles from Bexhill town centre with an array of bars and restaurants in addition to the De La Warr Pavilion arts and entertainment venue. The Cooden Beach hotel is just down the road with its restaurants and beach bar and a little further on the highly regarded Cooden Beach Golf Club can be found. The house is also just a short walk to Cooden Beach Train station, with frequent coastal services to Brighton, Eastbourne, Bexhill, Hastings & Rye plus services to London Victoria and Gatwick Airport via Lewes.
