Description

North Shore is an exclusive gated community comprising 13 luxurious homes set on an elevated estate of lush, manicured gardens. The homes capitalise on their elevated positions, offering stunning views of the Irish Sea. No. 3, extending to 396.4 sqm / 4,240 sqft, is ideally positioned facing south, allowing sunlight to flood the primary reception rooms throughout the day. Situated in the centre of the 0.692 acre grounds, this home boasts expansive front and rear gardens with sea views from both. As you approach No. 3 down its long driveway, you are greeted by a Hamptons-style home featuring large floor-to-ceiling windows with curved tops that allow plenty of natural light. The arched entrance porch hints at the grandeur within. Upon entering the spacious hallway, you immediately sense the stunning contemporary style and decor. Straight ahead, hardwood oak flooring leads to a large living room with dual aspects, from the front door through to the south-facing garden. This room, positioned in the centre of the home, is perfect for entertaining, with direct access to the garden room, which extends further to the garden and decking area. Adjacent to the family room is a vast open-plan kitchen, finished with a crisp, clean contemporary design and featuring custom cabinetry with hardwood countertops and a breakfast counter. This dream space for entertainers includes ceramic floor tiles, integrated appliances, an inset wood-burning stove, double doors leading to the garden room, and double doors to the west patio ideal for watching sunsets while enjoying the sound of a water feature. Four picture windows at the back of the kitchen offer views of the garden, connecting to a separate sunken seating area to the west of the home. This space is further serviced by a large utility/pantry with separate exterior access. The house has five bedrooms in total, three of which are en-suite, while the other two share a family bathroom. Each room is individually decorated with meticulous attention to detail, offering a unique look and feel. The master bedroom, perfectly positioned with a corner window to capture the sunrise, is spacious and full of light. It features access through double patio doors to the deck area and a hot tub for both ease and privacy.

Additionally, there is attic storage space above this room, as well as on the first floor. Upstairs, a cozy TV room offers a secluded space ideal for cinema nights, a man cave, or a kids' hangout. Beyond this is a fully fitted home office, perfect for those who work from home. There is potential for the new owners to extend the Velux roof windows to capture panoramic sea views, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Further on is a large storage room, with a secondary storeroom just off the TV room, a feature every homeowner will envy due to its ample space. The highlight of this seaside home is its large manicured gardens. The sunroom seamlessly incorporates indoor-outdoor living, extending to a composite deck area with a six-seater hot tub for year-round use. The rear garden offers maximum privacy, allowing the new homeowners to enjoy their outdoor space in peace.
