Enjoy the best of our coastal lifestyle in this luxury home tucked privately away behind a gate in one of the most exclusive mews of our vibrant international city. On the site of the Victorian Anchor Brewery this development takes its influence from its industrial past with clean lines, curved balconies and high spec energy efficient windows and this house is an attractive and welcoming refuge to return to with a lit entrance, integral garage as well as a parking space and inside, the sleek hallway sets the sophisticated tone of the interior design and has a chic guest cloakroom tucked away.
Ahead, the spacious kitchen diner spans the full width of the building. Party perfect, the far wall of glass frames swaying palms and exotic planting to bring a holiday feel in, and inside, there is ample room for a table and chairs where guests can enjoy the view. Contemporary units are topped by practical work surfaces, a choice of lighting levels allow you to choose the mood and this user friendly kitchen is good to go as integrated appliances include a Neff gas hob, self-clean Miele oven, fridge and dishwasher, and there is plumbing for a washing machine. Outside, the south facing patio has room for dining and it is the only house with a side gate which leads directly to the large communal garden which is child secure, and has a central, level lawn surrounded by mature trees and shrubs and a paved seating area.
Designed to enjoy with family and friends, the first floor living room stretches more than a fabulous five meters and is perfect for entertaining in trans-Atlantic style opening to the stylish balcony, ideal for the al fresco lifestyle our city is known for. Natural materials combine with light colour tones to keep the feel current and the focus on the seamless in/out flow, whilst dimmer switches add ambience to this inviting space. Private and peaceful at the back, the first of the double bedrooms has leafy views and ideal for guests, it could also be a cheerful place in which to work from home.
On the second floor, two more comfortable bedrooms are each generous doubles, the front room enjoying a Juliette balcony looking over the continental courtyard and the back bedroom with views of the communal gardens. Between the two, so they don’t share a wall, the bathroom is decorated in the colours of the sea and has a traditional shower attachment on the bath.
Quiet and comfortable at the top of the house, the principal suite is light and airy with its own lit balcony for morning coffee which is only attached to one side. Statement planting which provides screening could stay subject to circumstance and inside has lots of floorspace even with a big bed in situ. The en suite shower room is larger than you would expect with high end fittings, and touches of luxury including lit storage above the hand basin and sleek cabinets below, whilst a discreet door at the end leads to a surprisingly big attic.
There is a low maintenance charge of £750 per annum which pays for upkeep of all the communal areas, the gardens, the lighting and upkeep for the gates and camera system. Occasionally there will be agreement on an extra payment for a special project.
