A once in a generation opportunity to acquire a substantial detached family home, on the market for the first time since it was built in the 1960s and offered for sale with the significant benefit of no onward chain. Set in an elevated and highly sought-after position on Countess Wear Road, this extended freehold residence enjoys truly stunning views across the estuary and combines generous accommodation, beautiful gardens and enormous scope for future enhancement.<br/><br/>Approached via a large and striking front garden, the property makes an immediate impression, offering both curb appeal and a sense of privacy from the road. The plot itself is generous, and the setting perfectly balances residential convenience with a feeling of openness rarely found so close to the city.<br/><br/>Internally, the home offers spacious, light filled rooms throughout, reflecting the proportions typical of its era. The ground floor accommodation is exceptionally versatile and ideal for modern family living. There are four reception rooms, each with its own character and purpose, including a welcoming living room, a comfortable lounge, a formal dining room perfect for hosting and a beautiful conservatory that floods the space with natural light and provides a peaceful vantage point to enjoy the garden throughout the year.<br/><br/>The kitchen/diner acts as a practical hub of the home, with ample space for family meals and everyday living, while a separate utility room adds to the functionality. An abundance of storage is a standout feature throughout the property, ensuring excellent practicality for a growing family.<br/><br/>Upstairs, the sense of space continues with five generously sized bedrooms, all capable of accommodating family members, guests or homeworking arrangements. The principal bedroom is a real highlight, featuring its own sunroom/Juliette balcony from which the panoramic estuary views can be fully appreciated - an exceptional space to relax and unwind. An ensuite bathroom shared between bedrooms one and two provides convenience, while a further family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.<br/><br/>To the rear, the property boasts a stunning and enclosed garden which enjoys a wonderful outlook over King George V Playing Fields. This open green space beyond the boundary creates a sense of expansiveness while offering immediate access to an area ideal for children, dog walking and outdoor pursuits. The garden itself provides both privacy and a safe, secure environment for family life, with plenty of room to enjoy and further landscape if desired.<br/><br/>Practical features are plentiful, with off-street parking, a garage and car port, ensuring excellent provision for vehicles and storage. The property has been well maintained, with the significant benefit that the main roof was replaced last year, offering peace of mind for future owners.<br/><br/>While already a substantial and comfortable family home, the property also offers huge potential to modernise, extend or reconfigure, making it an ideal purchase for those looking to create a truly bespoke residence in a premium location. The combination of large rooms, superb views, generous gardens and outstanding potential is increasingly rare.<br/><br/>Homes of this calibre, in this position and with such a compelling blend of heritage and opportunity, seldom come to market. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this unique property has to offer.<br/><br/>
