A striking and contemporary energy-efficient home boasting magnificent views out to Botany Bay, this distinctive detached property was completed by the current owners to be extremely energy efficient including solar panels, underfloor heating, an air source heat pump and an electric car charging point.
A bright reception hall opens onto the ground floor, where the bedrooms are also located. The double-aspect principal bedroom has views to the front and side with a stunning ensuite bathroom. There are then two further bedrooms, one with a built-in wardrobe and sliding door to the rear terrace. A family shower room, dressing room, utility room and a plant room housing a pressurised water system completes the ground-floor accommodation.
On the first floor is a cloakroom, a separate walk-in pantry and a well-proportioned kitchen / sitting room with panoramic sea
views. The kitchen area is fitted with a beautiful central island and the living area has ample space for relaxing alongside a contemporary wood burner. Sliding doors then lead out to the glass balcony, which wraps around the property providing the perfect setting for either dining or entertaining.
The property is approached via an automatic metal sliding gate which opens into the secluded garden with a parking area and a paved terrace that surrounds the house. There is also a useful outbuilding with power and light, and a separate bike store.
