A cook's dream, this kitchen is fully equipped with everything from a coffee machine and Nutri bullet, to an air fryer.Panoramic full-height glazing maximises the omnipresent ocean views, with a broad, glazed sliding door onto a balcony. From here, external stairs connect to the paved patio below.A black quartz breakfast bar with stools divides this inclusive dining space.This living area is at an angled junction in the floor plan, with a main corridor back to the entrance, and an archway through to a generous and chic panelled dining room.A more formal affair with a table that can seat the entire complement of visitors on convivial suede buttoned benches, and with a cocktail bar, wine cooler and ice machine in the corner, surrounded by sable stained panelling and stunning views.Beyond and behind a sliding glass wall, a monumental flat-screen TV monopolises the adjoining television lounge.A modern electric fire and a well-cushioned sofa group complete the home-movie harmony. A Nintendo Wii is a welcome addition for Children (and adults!).Off the main corridor back to the entrance hall, a family bathroom boasts a super double-ended, extra deep, Corian slipper bath.Beside it, is the only bedroom on this level, with a double bed and generous wardrobe space.Oak return stairs at the corner of the house lead to bedroom accommodation on the lower ground floor, with hallways running in two directions.The elegant master bedroom lies at the end of one.
