This striking contemporary detached house on Fairhaven Avenue offers flexible living for a large or multi-generational family. The main home provides five double bedrooms each with ensuite facilities, a principal suite with two walk-in wardrobes, and a large 32' x 20'2" kitchen–family room with bifold doors to decking — ideal for everyday family life and entertaining.
A fully self-contained two-bedroom annexe sits within the grounds and has been used successfully as an Airbnb, offering clear income or guest accommodation potential while keeping everyone independent. The plot also includes a purpose-built pub and gym, extensive west-facing gardens, decked entertaining areas, and driveway parking for up to six cars — a rare combination of leisure space and practicality so close to the beach.
Practical strengths include wheelchair/mobility scooter accessibility, multiple wired Wi‑Fi connections and USB sockets in main rooms, a separate utility, and ground-floor bedroom options. Location is strong for seaside living: moments from the beach and around a 20–25 minute walk to the town centre and local amenities.
Considerations: the large landscaped grounds and garden buildings will need ongoing maintenance and upkeep. Any commercial use of the on-site pub, gym or Airbnb income should be checked for planning and licensing requirements. The property’s scale and high-spec fittings also mean running costs and council tax will be higher than smaller homes.
