Substantial detached five bedroom family home
Private and secluded location with gated driveway
Grand reception rooms with soaring ceilings
Easy access to the coast with excellent rail connections
Old Roar Villa is a handsome detached Victorian house of considerable character, offering beautifully proportioned family accommodation, generous wraparound gardens and a substantial detached coach house, in a peaceful residential setting in St Leonards-on-Sea.
Arranged over three floors, the house combines the elegance of its Victorian origins with contemporary interiors. High ceilings, generous room volumes and attractive architectural detailing create a wonderful sense of space, while the versatile accommodation is particularly well suited to family life.
At the heart of the ground floor lies a remarkable 42ft long open-plan kitchen, dining, and family space, defined by soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural light. Thoughtfully designed for modern living, the kitchen features bespoke cabinetry, natural stone worktops, and fully integrated appliances, while the dining area is anchored by a characterful fireplace with a wood-burning stove and an inviting window seat.
Across the entrance hall, a generous drawing room provides a more formal setting for entertaining, featuring an elegant bay window and bifold doors that open directly onto the gardens.
A cloakroom and utility/boot room complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys an en-suite bathroom and separate dressing room. Two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the first floor, while the second floor provides two additional double bedrooms and a shower room, offering flexibility for family, guests or working from home.
The house occupies a generous private plot, approached through electric gates onto a sweeping in-and-out carriage driveway with ample parking. Established gardens wrap around the property, with mature trees, lawns and several terraces providing attractive spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining.
A substantial detached coach house incorporates a cloakroom, garaging and storage, with a versatile studio above, ideal for a home office, gym or creative space, with potential for conversion to other uses, subject to the necessary consents.
Old Roar Villa occupies a very peaceful position on a no-through-road in St Leonards, close to Alexandra Park and the woodland walks of Old Roar Gill. It combines the architectural elegance and generous proportions of a substantial Victorian home with the convenience of both countryside and the coast close at hand.
Originally developed as a Regency seaside resort, St Leonards has evolved into one of the South Coast's most interesting creative communities. The independent galleries, antique shops, cafés and restaurants around Norman Road and Mercatoria contribute to its distinctive character, with local favourites including the Kino-Teatr, St Clement's and Heist Market.
The area offers a good choice of private schools, including Claremont, Battle Abbey School, Marlborough House Vinehall and Buckswood, alongside well regarded state primary and secondary options.
St Leonards Warrior Square and Hastings stations provide regular mainline services towards London, while the A21 offers convenient road connections to the M25 and beyond. The historic streets of Rye, Hastings Old Town, the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill and the beaches of Cooden and Camber Sands are all within easy reach, together with the beautiful countryside of the High Weald.
