Set in the Sussex seaside town of St Leonards, this three-bedroom home is a masterclass in bold materials, original details and hidden-away privacy.
From the moment you step inside, the hallway makes an impression with striking abstract wooden flooring, offset by crisp white walls that let the craftsmanship shine. Elsewhere, timber parquet floors, teak panelling, a Varde log burner and a sleek Nolte kitchen with a Faber induction hob give the home its layered, design-led feel.
Towards the rear, the family bathroom delivers an unexpected burst of personality, with a vibrant artistic mural and pale green walls. A walk-in rain shower and bespoke Iroko washstand, paired with a black marble splashback, bring a polished modern edge.
The primary bedroom spans the full width of the house, wrapped in a rich terracotta hue and framed by south-westerly treetop views. From here, a dedicated dressing room leads into a generous ensuite, where bespoke timber cabinetry, soft pink terrazzo tiles and a remarkably deep bath create the ultimate retreat.
An original open staircase, complete with wrought iron balustrade and gallery, forms a striking architectural feature. This has been thoughtfully paired up with a large picture window, which cleverly draws natural light down into the lower level. Here, the home opens into a broad living space, where a full wall of glazing frames views across the 100-foot private garden.
To the rear, a decked terrace extends directly from the living space, stepping down into the expansive south-west-facing space. Mature evergreens and hardy tropical planting provide year-round interest, while a backdrop of trees and woodland creates privacy. The exterior also offers this, with stained timber and stone, a private drive, and a landscaped front garden with trees and succulents.
The seafront and promenade can be accessed on foot via Alexandra Park, while central St Leonards, with its variety of independent shops, restaurants and galleries, is a 5-10-minute drive away. Plus, mainline stations provide direct links to central London – the perfect balance of city and coast.
This property is on the market with CROFT agency for £555,000.
