Superb modern home with fabulous coastal views.
4, The Views is a fine detached house built in 2016 which forms part of a small, exclusive development on the outskirts of the popular coastal town of Stonehaven. With flexible accommodation of 3,410 square feet which is entirely heated by a ground source heat pump and underfloor heating, the property is arranged over two levels and, as befits its address, enjoys a lovely coastal outlook from the garden and, in particular, the principal bedroom balcony. The property exudes space, style and light, with a large open plan kitchen/dining room which forms the heart of the home and has two further reception rooms off. In total there are six bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms.
A private driveway leads up to a vestibule and hallway with the main dining/kitchen space positioned directly ahead. This stunning room includes an electric AGA in the Pearl Ashes shade with a custom made glass splashback and a beautiful sky blue Neville Johnson custom made bar unit with integrated wine rack. There is a timber-topped island and box window with window seat which makes an ideal informal dining area, along with plenty of space for a larger table. To the front of the house is an entertainment/cinema room and there is also a wonderful sitting room with contemporary wood burning stove and sweeping views over the landscaped garden which can be accessed via a set of French doors. A ground floor bedroom is currently used as a home office and is serviced by a luxurious shower room. On the practical front, the house is well equipped, with both a utility room and boot room.
On the first floor a spacious elongated landing has a seating area for reading/studying, making great use of the space. The principal bedroom suite takes up the whole of the eastern part of the house and includes a dressing room with Neville Johnson cabinetry and an en suite with freestanding bath and separate shower. A genuine retreat, the bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and a magnificent decked balcony with a glazed balustrade from where there are endless views of the sea. There are four further bedrooms on this level, one with a sauna cabin. Completing the first floor is a large family bathroom.
Outside: Surrounding the house on three sides, the beautifully curated gardens create an idyllic sanctuary, where expansive lawns, colourful landscaped borders and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces combine to exceptional effect. The charming summerhouse provides a tranquil spot from which to enjoy the outlook across the grounds, while the greenhouse and ancillary garden buildings cater perfectly to keen gardeners.
Garage: There is a double car garage integral to the property with vehicular access provided by two electrically operated up and over timber garage doors. A pedestrian door leads into the boot room.

For me, the standout feature of 4, The Views is the connection to its coastal setting, with beautifully designed living spaces and sea views that can be enjoyed throughout the home.
