Martin Maslin Estate Agents are absolutely delighted to offer for sale Oak Dene, a timeless Edwardian masterpiece nestling between Oxford Street and Bradford Avenue, set within a third of an acre of beautiful and private landscaped mature gardens. Occupying a commanding corner position on Bradford Avenue, this magnificent residence, constructed in 1914, is undoubtedly one of Cleethorpes’ most distinguished homes. A property of exceptional architectural beauty, it has been enjoyed by only a select few owners during its illustrious history and has been meticulously restored and enhanced by the present owners to an outstanding standard. Hidden discreetly behind electric gates and approached by a sweeping private driveway, the residence stands proudly, boasting two walk‑on verandas overlooking magnificent landscaped gardens that provide complete privacy whilst being only a leisurely walk from the seafront.
The impressive oak‑panelled entrance vestibule opens into a spectacular reception hall, where original parquet block flooring, soaring ceilings and the magnificent oak staircase immediately create an unforgettable first impression. The elegant staircase rises to a stunning galleried landing, forming the centrepiece of this remarkable home. Throughout the property, an abundance of original features have been carefully preserved, including leaded‑light windows, high panelled ceilings, beautiful fireplaces, original internal doors complete with brass finger plates, intricate mouldings and bespoke fitted furniture. Designed with both family living and entertaining in mind, the elegant family room features two impressive bay windows, bespoke built‑in cabinetry and a magnificent fireplace that creates a wonderfully warm atmosphere, while the formal dining room is equally impressive, decorated in sophisticated heritage tones and offering a beautiful setting for entertaining guests.
Without doubt, the spectacular 28ft x 19ft 8in kitchen is the true heart of this exceptional residence. Beautifully handcrafted with bespoke in‑frame, hand‑painted cabinetry, this outstanding room effortlessly combines timeless craftsmanship with modern luxury. A magnificent central island, finished with elegant ogee‑edged quartz worktops, provides the perfect focal point for family life and entertaining alike. Beyond its exceptional cabinetry, the kitchen offers an inviting sitting area centred around a beautiful feature fireplace, complemented by bespoke low‑level fitted furniture that enhances both style and practicality. A deep corner bay creates a delightful informal breakfast area, perfectly positioned to enjoy views across the gardens, while elegant patio doors allow the space to flow seamlessly onto the surrounding terraces, making indoor and outdoor living feel beautifully connected. Supporting the kitchen are a generous walk‑in pantry and a designer cloakroom with WC. Leading from the magnificent reception hall, a rear lobby provides access to a superb games room with the original maid’s staircase to the first floor, a dedicated study, a practical boot area and an extensive utility room, creating a home that is every bit as functional as it is beautiful.
The magnificent galleried landing extends gracefully into both the East and West Wings, providing beautifully balanced accommodation. The luxurious principal suite extends to approximately 20 feet, offering extensive built‑in wardrobes and an exceptional marble‑appointed en‑suite bathroom featuring a designer walk‑in shower, elegant slipper bath and premium fittings. Two further guest bedrooms each enjoy beautifully appointed en‑suite shower rooms, while two additional bedrooms benefit from delightful walk‑on veranda balconies overlooking the mature gardens. Altogether, the home offers six beautifully proportioned bedrooms, complemented by a luxurious family bathroom, all finished to an exceptional standard.
The magnificent gardens are every bit as impressive as the house itself. Beautifully designed and impeccably maintained, the grounds provide complete privacy and a stunning backdrop to this remarkable home. Sweeping sandstone pathways meander through immaculately manicured lawns, while elegant walk‑through pagodas create charming focal points and secluded seating areas. Deep, beautifully stocked borders overflow with an abundance of mature plants, shrubs and seasonal colour, creating interest throughout the year. To the front of the property, an exquisite terrazzo‑tiled walkway leads gracefully to the elegant entrance, its broad steps providing a fitting approach to this magnificent Edwardian residence. Every aspect of the gardens reflects the same meticulous attention to detail found throughout the house, creating an outdoor environment that is both peaceful and breathtakingly beautiful.
Approached through electric gates, with extensive private parking and a substantial detached garaging block incorporating both single and double garages, this remarkable home remains one of Cleethorpes’ best‑kept secrets. Combining magnificent Edwardian architecture, beautifully preserved period character, exceptional modern appointments and glorious landscaped gardens, this is unquestionably one of the finest private residences in the area.

Offering privacy, grandeur and an unrivalled lifestyle just moments from the seafront, this represents a genuinely once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity to acquire one of Cleethorpes’ most iconic and admired homes.
