Expansive Living Out East

The word expansive doesn’t even begin to describe this house, and I mean that on a number of levels. Expansive, uninterrupted sea views? Check. Expansive living space? Check. Expansive outdoor space, split between front and rear? Check. Expansive parking, including a decent-sized garage? Check. It’s, well.. Expansive.

Spanning three storeys and set almost right on the seafront at Gorey, there’s no denying that you’re looking at a strikingly beautiful house, yet you may have recently passed by a handful of times since it’s been built yet not actually consciously noticed it, such are the levels of privacy. Behind the high, granite-faced walls and entrance gates lies a very generous parking area with low-maintenance borders adding a pleasant, green contrast against the gravel. On this level there’s also a generously sized garage to keep your inanimate loved-ones safe, or simply use as easily accessible storage for sports equipment or the like. After all, being a mere stone’s throw from the Royal bay of Grouville it’d be rude not to get out on a pushbike or paddleboard from time to time if you decide to make this your new home.

Elsewhere on the ground floor there’s a bedroom with an ensuite, a ‘media room’, utility room that backs onto the garage itself, an additional WC and a spacious entrance hall sporting stairs directly ahead up into the main living area on the first floor.

Open plan living is the order of the day up the first flight of stairs, with almost the entire floor dedicated to the vast kitchen and living room which leads out onto an impressively-sized terrace with sea views to the front and a balcony, overlooking the incredibly private garden space to the rear. The only exceptions to the open plan rule on this floor are the pantry, wine store featuring beautifull crafted wooden racking and a very conveniently located WC nearby - and between the last two you should have almost everything you need to keep your guests happy when entertaining.

Onto the third and final floor, which is where you’ll find the remaining three bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms and the master, which faces to sea with its own balcony, stunning vaulted ceilings and a porthole window, as well as boasting a separate dressing room.

The enclosed garden at the rear offers not only a huge degree of privacy but also the opportunity to relax amongst mature trees and plants to appreciate the ‘New England’ vibe courtesy of the exterior cladding. Double-doors open up onto the patio area immediately as you step outside, leading towards a circular lawn and a raised, overlapping curved paved area that would be the ideal spot to cook up a summertime storm on a BBQ. It’s a peaceful haven located just moments from the heart of Gorey and the views and choice of entertainment venues the area offers.

Crisp, clean lines and neutral colours abound, and only serve to make the spaces feel larger, yet by no means cold. Add some statement furniture pieces, throw some wood on the fire and cosy in for the evening - or better still, rise early to watch the sun rise from the comfort of your own nest. If you weren’t an early bird before, you probably will be once you and your flock settle in to life in this newly-built masterpiece.
