Internal

Palmers Place is an attractive and imposing family home, offering a generous and versatile layout with charm, style and character throughout. From the moment you step inside, the spacious proportions become apparent, with high ceilings, feature fireplaces and a log burner in the lounge creating an immediate sense of warmth and comfort.

The impressive entrance hall with its own open fireplace sets the tone for the size of this exceptional home. The 34ft south-facing living room is undoubtedly one of the principal features of the home. This exceptionally spacious dual-aspect room enjoys an abundance of natural light, with French doors opening directly onto both the rear garden as well as to the patio at the front. The room also leads into a large westerly-facing conservatory, creating an additional reception space perfectly positioned to enjoy the changing light throughout the day and into the evening.

The open-plan kitchen and dining room encourage the opportunity to socialise. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of units and space for integrated or free-standing appliances, whilst enjoying attractive views across the garden. The adjoining dining room is particularly spacious and benefits from a dual aspect and a large bay window to the south, with plenty of room for both a substantial 'formal' dining table and chairs as well as a separate dining area into the bay for everyday use. The whole area makes for an ideal space for family gatherings and entertaining.

From the kitchen, there is access to the adjoining utility room, which features a very practical 'butler's sink' and provides space for both storage and additional appliances. It has doors leading outside as well as through to the integral garage and workshop.

A ground-floor WC is accessible at the rear of the entrance hall.

The first floor provides five generously proportioned double bedrooms, making this an ideal home for a growing family or those requiring flexible accommodation for guests and working from home. The principal bedroom is particularly notable, featuring a large bay window and impressive distant sea views, together with its own en-suite shower room & WC. Three of the other bedrooms also retain the traditional convenience of an individual wash hand basin.

The family bathroom is well equipped with both a bathtub and separate shower cubicle. There is also access to a large partly-boarded loft space, which offers extensive additional storage. The property has previously had plans approved for a substantial loft conversion, whilst these permissions have now expired, there is the potential for a future owner to consider further expansion subject to the necessary consents.
External

The grounds are a valuable feature of Palmers Place, with beautifully established wrap-around gardens surrounding the property and providing a number of separate areas in which to relax and entertain. The gardens lend themselves to capture sunshine from morning through to sunset, while the elevated but secluded setting of the whole plot assures a feeling of privacy and spaciousness.

To the front, a generous lawn is bordered by mature shrubs and established planting, creating an attractive and private approach. Steps lead up to an impressive and spacious private front terrace, where a charming raised pond with fountain provides a peaceful focal point. This is a particularly tranquil and protected location for alfresco dining in the summer months.

The rear garden features a fascinating 'cascade' of ponds, but is otherwise predominantly laid to lawn. This could easily be extended to return the pond area to grass should a new owner prefer.

The whole area is beautifully enclosed by an abundance of mature shrubs, trees and colourful planting. A decked seating area provides a further space for alfresco dining and entertainment, and the established borders create a secluded and leafy atmosphere.

To the front and side, a substantial driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles and leads to the integral garage, which benefits from a remote-control door. A useful workshop provides further valuable storage and workspace, making this an exceptionally practical home for families and hobby enthusiasts alike.

With its combination of substantial five-bedroom accommodation, beautiful period character, exceptional gardens, commanding views, generous parking, garage and workshop, Palmers Place represents a rare opportunity to acquire an impressive and individual family home in one of High Salvington's most desirable settings.
