St Ives, New Road, Eythorne

5 Bedroom Detached House for sale in

An extraordinarily striking five-bedroom family home, thoughtfully extended and creatively reconfigured using exceptional architecture and artistic interior design.

Once known as “The Doll's House,” St Ives is now a spacious and versatile family residence offering over 2,700 sq. ft. of beautifully presented space, including a self-contained annexe.

Enviously located and occupying a generous 0.50 acre plot, St Ives also enjoys an elevated position with incredible views and desirable sunsets.

The property is unique in its design, featuring vaulted ceilings, glass balconies, and splendid, intertwining living areas. The current owners have truly enhanced the property, creating a wonderful family home.

An extensive driveway leads to the main entrance, which opens into a large entrance hall with a utility room.

The living room is set at the rear of the property, framing the incredible views. The vaulted ceilings with exposed rafters create a tremendous sense of light and space while adding a great deal of character.

The kitchen is fitted with an array of units, integrating all main appliances. Oak worktops complement the engineered oak flooring, while a double-sided wood-burning stove sits centrally between the relaxed seating area and the adjacent sitting room. Bifold doors open onto the elevated balcony, and a set of internal French doors lead into a formal dining area, which in turn leads to a sitting room with French doors opening onto the decking.

There are five bedrooms (two with en-suites) and a well-appointed family bathroom. The principal bedroom, which forms part of the extension, is another vaulted room with elegant pendant lighting and a mezzanine area. This stunning retreat features a Juliet balcony, dressing room, and luxury en-suite.

ANNEXE:

Added in 2017, the annexe can be accessed both internally and independently, making it ideal for an older relative. It features a fully fitted kitchen, a double bedroom, and a wet room. French doors open onto a small private courtyard and its own parking space.

OUTSIDE:

St Ives occupies a splendid half acre plot of elevated grounds, enjoying uninterrupted countryside views.

The decked balcony wraps around the side of the house, providing ample space for alfresco dining.

The rest of the garden is mainly laid to lawn and interspersed with established shrubs and small trees. At the foot of the garden, there is a chicken run, and a large storage shed.
To the front of the property, a vast driveway offers parking for numerous vehicles.
