Fearon Hay Architectural Masterpiece

Set around a large European style internal courtyard this Fearon Hay masterpiece, positioned across the park from Cheltenham Beach relies upon style, symmetry and quality to deliver undeniable appeal for professionals or families seeking an exceptional lifestyle with seamless flow between the indoors and out in close proximity to the beach.
Such a secret in Cheltenham, this turn of the century beach cottage stands out from the crowd for its beautiful symmetry and simplicity and the fact that you can see its had a wonderful transformation but the privacy it affords doesn't reveal exactly what. Enter the gate and there are hints of what's to come; the VOLA outdoor shower, tucked into the greenery of the landscaped gardens shows quality and thoughtfulness, the wide veranda, so welcoming. Open the front door and there it is, one voluminous room, with the subtle patina of original Kauri floors, high stud, big open fireplaces and custom wooden shutters, opened for the sun and sea views or closed against the dark and cold. Glimpses of the stunning European style internal courtyard pique your visual interest, the seamless flow reveals the amazing pavilion kitchen linking the old and new. The new home unfolds from here, more than doubling the size, the contemporary wing of family bedrooms and bathrooms adding strength and solidity and revealing the true size of this wonderful single level home. The seamless flow between indoor and out was created with a wall of full height stacking steel and glass doors and the tiled floor continuing from kitchen to courtyard, or over height French doors visually linking the spaces. Tucked behind the courtyard the four spacious bedrooms offer excellent detailing and all open to the outdoors. The look and feel is fluid and organic, with quality chattels and liveable, flexible spaces providing an easy and elegant lifestyle. Throw on your bathers and wander over to the beach or entertain friends on an intimate or grand scale.
