Simar, St. Leonards-on-Sea, TN38 0SY

Set back from the road beyond a gated gravel driveway, this detached five-bedroom house occupies a generous plot.

A simple white-painted brick façade is punctuated by dark-framed openings, while broad glazing draws light deep into the plan.

Inside Entry is through a gated porch decorated with mature climbing plants. A tall, Crittall-style glazed door opens into a wide entrance hall.

Oak flooring runs underfoot, linking a considered sequence of spaces. A cloakroom WC sits neatly under the stairs, alongside a study with adjoining photographic dark room.

A series of integrated storage areas are worked discreetly into the plan. To the rear, the house opens into a broad open-plan living space.

Walls are finished in a warm yellow, offset by white ceilings and pale oak floors.

A bank of near full width glazing draws easterly light through the rear elevation, connecting directly with the terrace and garden beyond.

White cabinetry topped in timber lines the kitchen area, paired with a bank of full-height matte black units. A circular island sits centrally, anchoring the space.

The adjoining living and dining areas are loosely defined, with room for a large dining table, and a more relaxed seating area positioned alongside.

Stairs climb to the first floor, where a generous landing is lined with open shelving, giving a sense of continuity between floors, varnished plywood underfoot adds texture to the space.

A set of double doors within a wide opening reveal a large reception room. Rich blue tones create a quiet atmosphere, centred around a simple painted brick fireplace.

A large window provides west facing views over the front garden and trees beyond. The principal suite occupies the rear of the first floor.

The space is gently divided, with a sleeping area set alongside garden views.

The adjoining dressing room and ensuite is complete with built-in storage, double vanity unit, bath and separate enclosed shower. Timber, cork and soft neutral tones give a calm, cohesive feel.

The uppermost floor provides four further double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes and elevated outlooks across the surrounding tree canopy.

A family bathroom completes the floor, housing bespoke cabinetry, a walk-in shower and a bath. A high-set window filters light into the room.

Outside The walled rear garden is broad, laid predominantly to lawn and bordered by mature planting.

A magnolia tree sits centrally within the plot, surrounded by shrubs and established trees providing a sense of enclosure and privacy.

To the front, a gated gravel driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles, set behind boundary walls and planted borders.

Area Both Alexandra Park and Central St Leonards are within walking distance, giving access to the beach, numerous popular restaurants, cafes and galleries.

St Leonards mainline station provides a direct link into Central London.
