Description

Abacus was designed and built to our clients specification some 20 years ago. As such, it provides stunning lateral accommodation with an emphasis on both light and space. The house has been designed to make the very most of the superb views and whilst being of a very modern design, the house remains both comfortable and homely.

Entering the house via the front door, you are welcomed into a large entrance hall with views straight through to the landscape beyond. Steps lead to a second hall area which has a cloakroom and hall cupboard.

Leading on, you come to a superb kitchen dining room which has the most breath taking views, with access out via large sliding glazed doors. The kitchen is fitted with a range of grey contemporary style units and appliances including three Bosch ovens one being a steam and microwave , a De Dietrich five ring induction hob and a Fisher and Paykel dishwasher. There is a lovely central island, to the opposite side of which is a further unit that houses a Vinoth que wine cooler and a built in Neff coffee machine. At the rear of the kitchen a door leads you through to a utility room where there are twin Viessmann boilers and the all important Sheila Maid!. A back door leads out to the side garden.

On from the kitchen and also facing the dramatic views is a wonderful drawing room. This is a very comfortable place to sit and enjoy the views. There is a built in cassette wood burner for cozy evenings. This leads through to a side hallway which our client has designed as a little gallery; a wonderfully bright space as there is a large roof light above.

At the far end you reach a gym that could easily be used as a study, and downstairs cloakroom with wet room shower. To the rear of the hall, as you come through the front door, is a further generous living room which would make a fine playroom or studio.

The staircase takes you up via the most wonderful, large window allowing the views and light to flood in. There are two spacious principal bedrooms facing the views which have their own ensuites and access out to individual terraces. One bedroom has a bathroom and the other a shower room.

The landing area of Abacus is particularly elegant with a great sense of design and space. It leads you to two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

A glass feature staircase takes you up to the second floor where you find the most stunning master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and walk in dressing room. The bathroom has an egg shaped bath and wet room shower with dual shower heads.

Externally

The house is accessed initially via a shared drive with one neighbouring property. This leads through to your own tarmac driveway, sufficient to park several vehicles. To your left, glazed doors give access to a double garage. To the right hand side of the house is a store area, ideal for bikes and surf boards. This leads you through to the main body of the garden which is mainly laid to lawn. There is a large, decked terrace running across the back of the house, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the views, with a hot tub discreetly positioned to one side. Terraced sections lead down to a decked area with a fire pit. Around to the far side of the house you will find an area for storing logs and a small outbuilding with glazed doors.
