Just a stone’s throw from the impressive clifftops at Westbrook is this luxurious residence located in the prestigious Gresham Avenue.

As you sweep onto the spacious York stone driveway bordered by a lawn and shrubs and leading to the garage, you might think you are visiting a charming 1930s property with its bay windows, attractive porch and oak front door. However this opens into a lobby with sliding door cupboards and through to the hall where you can start to really appreciate the fabulous and contemporary design of the interior.
There is oak flooring that flows through to the stunning open plan living space, inset and mood lighting, beautiful oak doors and a staircase with its contemporary glass and oak banister and under stairs storage as well as a modern cloakroom with a vanity basin.
The spacious and breathtaking living space includes a contemporary log burner on a marble base surrounded by a granite split tiled chimney breast and six bi-fold doors to the raised terrace adjacent to the kitchen and dining areas. When these are open not only do you feel you are bringing the outdoors inside but also that you are doubling the size of the room.
A fascinating wood patterned wall with entertainment facilities is a great feature in the seating area while the stunning kitchen/breakfast area includes an impressive breakfast bar as well as a central island with an induction hob and a contemporary extractor.

The rear garden area includes fantastic external lighting and is a real dream for anyone looking for the ultimate outdoor space for both daytime and evening entertainment.

This leads down to a lawn that includes an impressive palm tree and is bordered by shrub beds and another decked terrace so you can follow the sun all day.
