Set on a large, terraced plot in peaceful St Lawrence, this three-double-bedroom detached house captures regular sea glimpses and a sunny southerly deck. The garden is a standout: tiered, enclosed by stone walling, fed by a natural spring and planted with mature shrubs — ideal for low-maintenance enjoyment and wildlife.
The interior is bright and practical, with oak floors, underfloor heating to the entrance hall and kitchen, and a newly installed air source heat pump serving most rooms. The sitting room opens onto a raised terrace via sliding/bi-fold doors and features a contemporary wood-burning stove. Off-street parking and a wide driveway lead to a large workshop and storage area (original garage repurposed).
Practical benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, an EV charging point, and planning permission granted in August 2022 to add a first-floor bedroom plus a porch and utility on the ground floor — a clear route to increase living space and value. The property is freehold with no flood risk and low local crime.
Notable considerations: council tax sits at Band F (expensive). Some glazing dates from before 2002 and several rooms rely on electric/room heaters rather than full central heating; buyers should check where ASHP heating coverage reaches. The house dates from the late 1960s/70s and, while well presented, offers further scope for modernisation if more efficient heating or upgraded glazing are desired.
