DESCRIPTION Built in the late 1970s, 27A Woodland Avenue is a striking and highly individual coastal residence, designed to embrace its exceptional seaward outlook. Innovative for its time, the property combines a robust lower ground construction of brick and block with a steel-framed first floor, clad externally and distinguished by expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing. Above, a steel framed roof finished in clay tiles completes the architectural composition. The property commands a wonderful position overlooking the sea and is set in a large plot offering space for an extension should the purchaser wish to enlarge the property and undertake some updating.
ACCOMMODATION A welcoming entrance porch leads you into this elegant coastal home, opening into an inviting inner hall and showcases the quality Sapele hardwood central staircase and bannisters. The well-appointed, contemporary kitchen offers both style and practicality, while the impressive L-shaped living and dining room forms the true heart of the property. Here, a striking central statement fireplace creates a dramatic focal point, complemented by full-height windows that frame breath taking, uninterrupted sea views. From this magnificent space, doors open onto a private balcony with steps gently descending to the garden below.
The lower level provides excellent family accommodation, comprising four comfortable bedrooms, including one with an en-suite, together with a versatile fifth bedroom or study and a well-designed family bathroom. Completing the layout is a practical utility room and an integrated garage, ensuring convenience and ample storage.
GARAGE AND GROUNDS The property benefits from two garages, offering excellent flexibility. The first is positioned conveniently to the right as you enter the driveway, ideal for everyday use or additional storage. A second garage sits at the end of a steeper drive and is integrated into the main residence, providing secure access and further practicality.
The gardens and grounds wrap beautifully around the property, creating a sense of space rarely found in this sought-after coastal location. To the front, the garden is laid mainly to lawn, interspersed with established flower beds that add colour and charm throughout the seasons. To the rear, an extensive and beautiful, mature garden unfolds from a generous patio terrace, with steps leading gracefully down to a wide expanse of lawn. This impressive outdoor space offers exceptional potential for keen gardeners, families, or those simply wishing to enjoy the tranquillity of the setting.
A small lane to the sea side of the property leads to a private right-of-way with steps down to the beach below, solely for use by houses in the immediate vicinity.
