DESCRIPTION
This unique property has been the subject of an extensive programme of repair, refurbishment and extension in recent times resulting in an exceptionally smart dwelling with versatile accommodation which totals circa 1848 sq ft arranged predominantly over the upper ground floor with just two guest bedrooms and a shower room on the ground floor (The ground floor has concealed services to allow annexe accommodation if required). The advantage of the accommodation being on the upper level is that it takes full advantage of the lovely views to the sea, particularly from the south west facing terrace accessed from the living spaces.
The accommodation, which has been designed to compliment a modern lifestyle, comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to two ground floor bedrooms and a smart shower room. On the upper ground floor there is a generous landing leading to two en-suite bedrooms (one with en-suite bathroom, the other a shower room), a cloakroom and a utility room. The star of the show is the stunning open plan kitchen/dining/living space which in turn leads to the garden room where all the glazing floods the space with light and really unites it with the outdoors.
To the front of the house there is ample parking on the driveway and a secluded area of garden. To the rear the tiered garden is a delight providing a lovely area for alfresco entertaining.
For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
