Two further double bedrooms occupy the first floor, both fitted with ensuites and Velux windows framing countryside and sea vistas. The house has a history as a short-let and could suit an owner-occupier, family or investor seeking rental income.
The plot is a standout feature — level lawns, a raised deck, covered pergola, sunny patio, orchard and productive fruit trees create excellent outdoor entertaining and gardening potential. There is also scope for further development or extension subject to planning permission (P.P.), making this attractive to buyers wanting to add value.
Buyers should note some important practical points: the property was built in the 1950s–60s and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so thermal upgrades may be needed. Council Tax is Band G and running costs could be significant. Mobile and broadband coverage can vary by provider locally. Overall, this is a sizeable family home with development upside and immediate use as a comfortable sea‑view residence.
