Set on a rare double plot on Bay View Road, this detached home delivers broad, elevated sea views across the bay from nearly every principal room. The sweeping private driveway, mature hedging and a double garage provide immediate privacy, generous parking and practical storage for family life. Its large gardens and elevated terrace create an outstanding outdoor setting for al fresco dining and coastal living.
Internally the house offers spacious, light rooms across multiple levels — a large lounge with conservatory, separate dining room and an extended kitchen/breakfast space. Three double bedrooms, an ensuite and family bathroom serve a household comfortably, while built-in storage reduces clutter. The property is sold chain-free and benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and very low local crime.
This is a genuine refurbishment and development opportunity. The building, constructed before 1900 with granite walls, appears to lack wall insulation and requires modernisation throughout to realise its full potential. Buyers should budget for renovation works (cosmetic and likely thermal upgrades) and consider the planning potential of the large double plot to add value.
Practical factors to note: council tax is above average and the wider area shows pockets of deprivation despite a generally rural white-collar demographic. Flood risk is low and connectivity is strong, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Early viewing is recommended for buyers seeking a prominent coastal home they can personalise and enhance.
