3 bed detached house for sale

Upper Glen Road, St. Leonards-On-Sea TN37

Positioned in the quiet turning of Upper Glen Road in Northern St Leonards is this exemplary mid-century detached house, where bold materials work seamlessly with original detail, giving a rich sense of its late 1960's post-modern design.

Inside
Abstract flooring runs underfoot, paired with crisp white walls which frame the linear central hallway. Two opposing double bedrooms sit to the front, both offering large recessed aluminium windows, which feature in every room. The family bathroom is positioned towards the rear, with playful colours, walk-in rain shower and bespoke Iroko washstand. The light filled primary bedroom runs the width of the property, drenched in a rich red terracotta, providing south westerly tree top views. A dressing room borders the large ensuite, complete with bespoke timber cabinetry, deep bath and blushed pink terrazzo tiles.

An original open staircase with wrought iron balustrade and gallery is crowned with a large picture window, giving way to the lower floor. In the broad living area, a vast wall of glazing draws in the light, giving elevated views of the 100 foot private mature garden. The German Nolte kitchen with Faber induction hob is secluded behind a contrasting wall, fitted with handmade Iroko larder doors and topped in composite. Original timber parquet and teak panelling line the floors and walls, while a Varde log burner provides a focal point to the room.

Outside
Maintaining a modest anonymity from the front, the exterior is clad in stained timber and stone. The private drive is shouldered by a landscaped front garden planted with deciduous trees and succulents. To the rear, a decked area runs seamlessly from the living space, with platforms lowering to the expansive south west facing garden. Multiple established evergreens and hardy tropical shrubs provide year-round colour, enveloped in trees and bordered by woodland there is a feeling of privacy and quiet.

Offering a coupling of mid-century architecture and quiet surroundings rarely found in Hastings and St Leonards. The seafront and promenade can be accessed on foot via Alexandra Park, while central St Leonards with its variety of independent shops, restaurants and galleries is a 5–10-minute drive away.
