Berrydown House is a breathtaking period residence situated within a prestigious location of Westbrook with direct sea views.
As you approach the house, you'll notice its prominent corner plot position, sat behind perimeter brick walls and accessed via electric gates that adds ultimate privacy and security.
Upon entering, you'll step into a spectacular reception hall with an impressive double height ceiling and log burner. A formal dining room lies to the left of the reception hall, boasting original windows that frame the lovely sea views and a log burner, adding to its charm. Double doors from the dining room lead into the grand living room, which also benefits from sea views and features original panelled walls and an open fire, creating a comfortable space to relax and unwind.
To the right of the reception hall, you'll find a convenient cloakroom and a sleek modern kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is equipped with integrated appliances, quartz worktops and bi-folding doors that open out to the garden terrace, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious utility room, providing ample storage and functionality.
Continuing from the kitchen, an inner hall leads to an impressive games room that opens out to a 'Spa Room', providing a luxurious spot to enjoy views of the sea with a glass of something nice. Adjacent to the games room is a conservatory, adding further versatility whilst an additional cloakroom concludes the vast ground floor. The 'Master Suite' is approached by its own staircase from the games room and is akin to a hotel suite, featuring floor to ceiling picture windows with sea views, an ensuite shower room, and French doors that lead out to a large balcony with elevated sea views.
The main house features an impressive galleried landing from which you can access four palatial bedrooms. Two of the largest bedrooms lay to the front of the house with wonderful sea views and access to a balcony. One of these bedrooms also benefits from an ensuite shower room. Additionally, there is a set of stairs that lead up to a secret viewing turret, offering unparalleled panoramic views over the bay. A stunning family bathroom with a separate 'slipper bath' and walk-in shower completes this incredible home.
The rear garden, which is mostly paved with artificial lawn offers a superb low-maintenance outdoor entertaining space. Towards the back of the garden, you'll find a two-storey outbuilding, complete with a fitted bar, dance floor, WC and poker room. This outbuilding is perfect for entertaining friends and family, but may prove ideal for those looking to create annexe accommodation. The front garden is mainly laid with artificial lawn, accompanied by paved patio areas whilst the gated driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles.
