Superb home close to the coast with beautiful grounds of about 2 acres.
Waterfield is believed to date from the 18th century, with later additions creating a exceptionally comfortable family home, presented in immaculate condition. Internally, the accommodation flows exceptionally well, with wonderfully proportioned and light-filled rooms throughout.
The front door opens into a generous reception hall, with doors leading to the principal accommodation. The heart of the home is arranged as three distinct yet connected zones: the kitchen, dining area and an informal sitting room, which flow seamlessly together. Off the dining area is a light-filled garden room, enjoying stunning views over the garden, with French doors opening onto the terrace and beyond. The Aga kitchen sits beneath a vaulted ceiling and comprises bespoke cabinetry with ample storage, a large island unit and integrated Neff appliances, including a microwave and dishwasher. A door from the kitchen leads to a useful utility room, with a further door providing access to the outside. The double-aspect sitting room is a generous space, centred around a handsome fireplace. The cosy snug with log burner is also located off the reception hall and has a boot room and shower room off. Beyond the snug is an exceptional contemporary, light-filled family room, a highly versatile space ideal for entertaining or used as a further bedroom or self contained annex. There are French doors out to the terrace as well as stairs leading up to a mezzanine level above with sky lights flooding the space with natural light and a Juliet balcony overlooking the orchard. Stairs lead to the first floor, where there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The spacious principal bedroom suite is exceptional, featuring a dressing room which flows through to a well-proportioned en suite bathroom. All the bedrooms have stunning views over the gardens and surrounding countryside.
Outside
Waterfield is approached via a private road where electric gates open onto a generous parking area for multiple vehicles, alongside a substantial garage, which could comprise up to four cars; stairs lead up to a large storage room which is located above. To the front, a landscaped garden with box hedging provides an attractive welcome.
Set within approximately two acres, the grounds are both beautiful and private. To the rear, a spacious paved terrace offers a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, ideal for entertaining, and is bordered by well-stocked shrub and herbaceous beds. A pathway leads to a detached garden room, while beyond, an expansive lawn framed by mature trees creates a peaceful and secluded setting.
