Aspire Estate Agents are delighted to present this outstanding coastal residence, an extraordinary example of modern seaside living where architectural flair, flexible living space and sweeping sea views combine to create a truly special home. Enjoyed by the current owner for over 25 years, the property has been thoughtfully arranged across multiple levels, each designed to maximise light, outlook and lifestyle, from the adaptable ground-floor garage and leisure areas to the expansive open-plan living space and the luxurious top-floor bedroom suite with commanding coastal vistas.
The exterior makes an immediate statement, with bold contemporary design and exceptional kerb appeal. A generous paved driveway provides ample off-street parking, while elegant balconies with glass balustrades enhance the connection between the interior and the surrounding seascape. Clean lines and refined detailing give the home a striking presence that feels both distinctive and perfectly suited to its coastal setting.
Positioned just moments from Chalkwell Beach, the location is as impressive as the home itself. Morning walks along the shoreline, relaxed beach days and uninterrupted sea air are complemented by excellent transport links, green open spaces and a vibrant mix of nearby cafés, restaurants and amenities. This is a home that delivers an exceptional coastal lifestyle, peaceful yet connected, refined yet effortlessly relaxed.
Ground Floor
The home is entered via a sheltered porch into a striking and spacious entrance hall, where the sense of scale is immediately apparent. A contemporary ground-floor WC sits straight ahead, thoughtfully designed with built-in storage and retaining original shower pipework, making it easily convertible back to a beach shower, ideal after coastal walks or sea swims. To the right, a substantial garage area opens up, incorporating a dedicated sauna room for ultimate relaxation. Beyond this, a second garage space offers further flexibility, both areas benefitting from wide glass doors that make access effortless for vehicles, bikes or water sports equipment. There is excellent scope to open these areas into one expansive garage or transform them into a games room, gym or leisure suite.
First Floor – The Showpiece Living Space
The heart of the home is unveiled on the first floor, where an extraordinary open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining space is framed by sweeping, uninterrupted sea views. Full-width folding doors open onto a south-facing balcony with glass balustrades and artificial grass underfoot, creating a seamless connection between inside and out. Electric canopies provide shade when needed, while natural light floods the space throughout the day. The lounge is enhanced by ambient lighting and a contemporary log-burning fire, creating warmth and atmosphere year-round. The sleek, high-spec kitchen features integrated appliances, a breakfast bar and a striking skylight overhead, while a separate utility room and additional WC complete this level.
Second Floor
The second floor continues the theme of generous proportions and elegant design. Bedroom three is a well-appointed double with a modern en-suite, ideal for guests or a teenager. Bedroom four, currently used as a creative studio, enjoys inspiring sea views, while bedroom two is a tranquil and spacious double featuring large sliding glass doors that perfectly frame the coastline beyond. A beautifully finished family bathroom completes the floor, offering a large walk-in shower, dual sinks and WC, styled in calming natural tones.
Third Floor – The Principal Suite
Crowning the home is the outstanding principal bedroom suite, a private sanctuary designed for total relaxation. This expansive bedroom opens directly onto its own private balcony with artificial grass, offering a breathtaking vantage point over the sea. A walk-in wardrobe provides excellent storage, while the en-suite bathroom adds everyday luxury. Electric blinds allow you to wake to spectacular sunrises over the water at the touch of a button, a truly special way to start each day.
