"This property is quite a find! When you start looking at the overall accommodation available both inside and out, comparing the location, the excellent sea and coastal views and then the superb condition of the property, you realise you have hit on something special. The size of it is not evident on a drive past ?+? so it is essential to make an appointment to view.
The present owners have been at the property for about 17 years and have painstakingly transformed the original house by substantially extending and upgrading as a continual process, particularly so over the last 10 years.
The arrangement of the accommodation has been changed to suit the benefit gained from the excellent sea and coastal views. For example the guest bedroom and en suite is on the ground floor at the front now and the lounge is now on the first floor with large corner windows capturing the marine views. Similarly the sun lounge has been added to the end of the superb kitchen to achieve a similar viewing result. This is also the same for the sun balcony leading off the dining room and the raised sitting area added to the master bedroom ?+? all enjoying excellent sea and coastal views.
