Methrose is a spacious, family home, originally built in the 1970's which has subsequently been remodelled to create a contemporary coastal retreat. The house is light and airy, designed to take advantage of the exceptional coastal views; the open plan living and dining space wrapping around the south and east elevations with full height picture windows, framing the stunning views and taking advantage of the sun path through the day and the moon trail at night.

The house is finished to a high decorative standard; the white walled rooms seamlessly flowing from inside to outside with large glazed doors and windows throughout the property connecting the living spaces to the surrounding landscape.

The single storey house is approached via a shared, private drive with a private parking area for four cars.

The house is entered via an open porch covered, double glass door into a large, central entrance hall, with a convenient cloakroom and plenty of coat hanging space. The porcelain tiled hall floor is naturally lit from above by a roof light. A door to the right leads directly into the living spaces while a long corridor to the left provides access to the first two bedrooms.

The main living space is open plan with the kitchen, dining and living areas flowing together.

The kitchen and dining area has two glazed French doors that lead directly onto the expansive garden terrace, perfect for Al fresco dining and access to the large built-in barbecue. The adjacent, open plan kitchen area has been fitted with plenty of work top and storage space and includes a feature Rangemaster induction hob and double oven, an integrated dishwasher and full height fridge with a porcelain butlers sink below an east facing window. The black basalt work surfaces and splash backs unite the kitchen area, terminating in an island breakfast bar counter. From the kitchen there is single glazed door to the side terrace.

Connected to the kitchen is a large utility and boiler room, with storage and housing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The utility room has a double stainless steel sink and a partially glazed door to the entrance drive. There are plenty of spaces for hanging sea salty coats and storing sandy flip flops after a day at the beach. A large, recently installed boiler keeps the room warm and feeds the central heating system around the house.

A small hall to the rear of the kitchen leads to two, generously sized double bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom. Both bathrooms have a walk in shower with body and head shower angled fittings. The bath rooms are tiled in travertine stone providing a luxurious, spa like ambience. One of these bedrooms has direct access onto the garden terrace via glazed French doors.

All of these areas have porcelain floor tiles emulating a stone finish.

From the dining and kitchen area, double glass doors open onto an L-shaped living room with picture windows capturing the sublime views across the bay. A focal point to this space is the cream enamelled Stovax wood burner which creates a cosy lookout from which to view the coast. The floor is tiled in porcelain, driftwood timber style tiles. To the southern elevation of the sitting room is a glazed full height window that slides back to provide access directly onto the grand garden terrace.

From the main entrance hall there is a corridor to the left that connects to two further double bedrooms. The first bedroom has oversized doors to enable ‘access for all' with adapted accommodation for less able users. Two broad double windows overlook the garden and the bay in the distance.

The second bedroom, at the end of the corridor, is also generously sized with ample room for a large double bed and storage. The end double bedroom also enjoys views over the sea and has a full-size bath in a sizeable bathroom. Again both bedrooms and corridor are porcelain tiled.

Roof hatches at either end of the property provides access to two large roof spaces.

Exterior, gardens and garage - Methrose is accessed via a shared, private drive that opens out onto an informal paved and lit entrance drive, where there is parking space for several cars. The house sits to the west of the plot, with the main gardens and terraces laid out to the south and east of the house where the sound of waves and sea birds add to the coastal atmosphere.

The garden includes extensive shrub and flower beds including palms, grasses, bamboos and sub-tropical plants creating a verdant, maritime setting to the property. From the parking area there is a sloping path to the front door and paths that lead around either side of the house. The rear garden has areas of paved terrace and sloped lawns which are bordered by trees and fences. The lawns provide the foreground to an open view across the cliffs to the heritage coast where tall ships can be watched entering and leaving Charlestown port in the distance.

There is subtle external wall lighting around the house, creating soft wall washes at night, helping to avoid light pollution in this coastal location. There is a small concrete shed in the garden with conveniently located external power sockets and storage trunks for outside furniture upholstery.
