A peaceful cul-de-sac five minutes' walk from the beach sounds idyllic. Then think about: spaces filled with northern light, an outdoor pavilion surrounded by cascading fish-ponds, floors of magnificent slate and hardwood, and an indulgent upstairs master suite flowing into its own sitting room and balcony. Downstairs, another master suite is secluded and ideal for guests or extended family. With warm, natural decor and a serene resort feeling, this is an enchanting place to live, offered furnished with a selection of interesting pieces.

The impressive carved timber front doors hint at the atmosphere inside, as the entry flows to a double-height void lined with northern glass, opening to the spa and the outdoor shower hidden around the corner. Light filters through the greenery and timber shutters to the expansive ground floor bedroom, with walk-in-robe and en-suite. Also on this level is a large powder room with ornate oriental vanity. More exquisitely detailed timber doors lead to the vast open plan kitchen, living and dining, where tall windows frame ivy-covered walls. The kitchen is generous and elegant, with masses of storage and a waterfall island bench in engineered stone. Warmed by a gas log fire, the living space opens through French doors to a outdoor pavilion and a series of flowing ponds.

Up the curving timber stairs, the master suite is a resort all its own, with living and sleeping zones, balcony, walk-in-robe and superb granite double en-suite. Two more bedrooms offer flexibility for study or gymnasium space, though you'll get plenty of exercise at the beach, just five minutes' walk away.
