A Striking Detached Edwardian Home Located Within A Short Walk Of The Town And Offering Exceptionall

THE PROPERTY.
Blue Haven is a handsome and substantial detached period residence dating from circa 1911, offering the rare combination of architectural presence, generous proportions and coastal character. With its high gables, elegant bay windows and traditional brick and rendered elevations beneath a steeply pitched graduated slate roof, the house makes an impressive first impression and continues to deliver charm and practicality throughout its three floors of accommodation. The interior is light, elegant and immediately welcoming, with well-proportioned rooms that lend themselves beautifully to both family life and entertaining. Over the past few years, the property has been the subject of a comprehensive and thoughtful programme of improvement by the current owners, including extensive re-roofing works covering the majority of the property’s slate roofs, the installation of a new family bathroom suite, replacement stair and landing carpets, general redecoration and refurbishment of the swimming pool.

The ground floor offers an entrance lobby leading into a superb semi open-plan reception room. Three graceful curved bays draw in natural light, while one opens directly onto the terrace and the oak flooring and wood burner enhances the sense of warmth and quality. The accommodation continues with a play room, inner hallway, cloakroom and utility room with door to the rear. The kitchen/dining room is a particular highlight, beautifully fitted with extensive units and oak flooring, providing an attractive and sociable heart to the home. The upper floors provide excellent flexibility for family living, guests or home working. On the first floor, the double-aspect principal bedroom enjoys sea views and eaves storage, with a connecting door to bedroom three. A second bedroom also benefits from sea views and eaves storage, while the third bedroom opens onto the balcony. A fourth bedroom with shower cubicle, a laundry room and a family bath/shower room complete this level. The second floor could offer a further three further bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room.
