Exceptional Bay View Road home with breathtaking sea and countryside views, generous plot, versatile living space, garage/workshop and outstanding potential to enhance in a prime coastal setting.

Situated on the wonderfully named Bay View Road, one of the most sought-after and picturesque addresses in the area, this exceptional home occupies what could quite possibly be one of the finest positions along the road, commanding breathtaking and uninterrupted views across rolling green countryside and out to the deep blue of the sea beyond. What makes this outlook so truly special is its unspoilt nature, with no man-made structures to interrupt the landscape, allowing for a rare sense of peace and connection with the natural surroundings. The gentle, distant sound of the sea further enhances the setting, creating a calm and restorative atmosphere that is difficult to replicate.

The property, itself, sits proudly within the centre of a generous and beautifully maintained plot, approached via an extensive brick-paved driveway providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The front of the house is well-screened by mature hedging and ornamental trees, set against neatly kept lawns, giving the home an immediate sense of privacy and distinction, along with excellent kerb appeal. A covered seating area by the front entrance, together with a charming pond, adds to the welcoming and characterful frontage.

An Entrance Porch leads into a particularly impressive and spacious Hallway, where sanded parquet flooring creates a warm and elegant first impression, with access to the principal ground floor rooms and stairs rising to the first floor. To the rear, the main Living / Dining Room is a superb space, centred around a striking picture window that perfectly frames the stunning coastal view, offering a versatile layout for both relaxation and entertaining. The Kitchen is modern and well-equipped, featuring a range of fitted units along with a Leisure Rangemaster cooker and an integrated fridge / freezer, and flows through to a useful side corridor and utility area.

The ground floor accommodation is both flexible and practical, with a bright second Bedroom positioned to the front, a further room currently used as a Study or fifth Bedroom - ideal for those working from home and a well-appointed Family Bathroom fitted with a bath, concealed cistern WC and cabinet mounted wash basin. A separate Sitting Room at the front of the property, presently arranged as a home cinema, enjoys direct access to the front garden and driveway, adding further versatility to the layout.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues, with a light-filled landing offering an ideal reading or relaxation area beneath 2 Velux roof windows. The Principal Bedroom is a truly outstanding feature of the home, enjoying spectacular panoramic views that are simply best appreciated in person, with direct access onto a private Balcony with composite decking - perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets. This room is further complemented by a bespoke walk-in wardrobe and an En-suite Shower Room. A further double Bedroom with built-in wardrobes completes the first floor accommodation.

To the rear, an impressive patio area provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, leading onto a neatly enclosed lawn garden. Beyond this lies an additional expanse of lawn, offering excellent potential for a variety of uses, whether as a guest garden area, recreational space or further landscaping. To the side of the property, and accessible from both the driveway and garden, is an extensive Garage / Workshop measuring approximately 45' in length, complete with power, lighting, the gas fired boiler and an electric door, making it an incredibly useful and versatile addition.

This is a home that already offers an exceptional lifestyle, yet still presents enormous scope for further enhancement. Subject to the necessary consents, there is clear potential to extend to the rear to create a stunning, open-plan kitchen / dining space that fully embraces the coastal views, as well as opportunities to extend to the side or even to the front. Given the prestige of the location, there is strong reassurance in the long-term value and potential of any improvements made.

A rare opportunity to acquire a truly special home in an outstanding setting, offering both immediate enjoyment and exciting future potential, this property would make a wonderful long-term or “forever” home. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the position, the views and the lifestyle on offer.
