A Sunderland Coastal Residence: Elegant Extension & Loft Retreat
Design in detail
Nestled just seconds from the beach on Sunderland’s stunning coastline, this exceptional residence has been reimagined by Acre Design through a sophisticated two-storey side extension, a seamless single-storey rear addition, and a bespoke loft conversion. The design celebrates its enviable seaside setting, embracing light, views, and the tranquil rhythm of coastal living.
At ground level, a grand open-plan “super room” forms the heart of the home. This is an expansive, light-filled space uniting kitchen, dining, and living areas with effortless flow. Large-format glazing invites in the ever-changing coastal light, blurring the boundaries between interior comfort and the natural beauty beyond. Complementary spaces include an enviable yet discreet utility, guest cloakroom, and a flexible garage-gym, all carefully considered for modern family living.
On the first floor, elegant new bedrooms offer generous accommodation, while the loft is transformed into a luxurious master suite. This is now a serene, private retreat where the bed is oriented to capture uninterrupted sea views. Every element has been meticulously crafted to combine coastal elegance with contemporary comfort.
Developed through a close and collaborative design process, this project embodies refined seaside living. This is now a bespoke home that harmonises architecture, landscape, and lifestyle on Sunderland’s breath-taking shoreline.
