About this property

  • 36a Frant Road was re-modelled from an extended 1970s house to create a striking contemporary-style detached home, with crisp rendered elevations and aluminium windows (triple glazed at the front and double glazed at the rear).

    Now, the property is an attractive and individual family house with four main bedrooms, plus a ground floor en suite bedroom five/family room which can be used as an annexe or a separate living area; there is also a large study.

    There is potentially scope for further enlargement, into two loft spaces or to the side of the house, subject to planning permission. It has a large red brick wall at the front and driveway space for three cars.

    The contemporary exposed brickwork starts at the front hallway and goes through to the study. There are glass panels in the second hallway which allow light through the b- fold doors in the open plan area into the centre of the house. The layout has been designed to allow light to travel through the house.

    Every window overlooks the garden and when you step into the open plan area you feel immersed in the outside space, both from the front and rear garden.

    A key highlight is the spacious open-plan kitchen/sitting/dining room fitted Bauformat German kitchen, range cooker and quartz worktop. The kitchen is large enough for several people to cook together.

    The open plan area has bi-fold doors along with a bay window with a window seat. It also has a living area, dining areas, breakfast bar and a large Scandanavian wood burning stove which heats the large open plan area.

    The rear garden runs the length of the house, with well established planting including palm trees and bamboo as a backdrop. The terrace is a suntrap being in front of the bi fold doors, creating a great inside/outside living space.

    The four first floor bedrooms are all doubles and one has a fitted double wardrobe.

Jazz evenings at the Pantiles are just a short walk away and dog walking in Hargate Forest off Broadwater Down - both work for me.
