Completing the ground floor are two double bedrooms (one south-facing), a bay-fronted formal living room and a stylish family bathroom with an oval bath, walk-in shower and heated towel rail.
Nestled beneath the eaves upstairs are two good-sized double bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms. The principal bedroom features a deep storage cupboard and is well-lit by sliding doors leading out to a private balcony with elevated views to the sea and beyond, whilst the second bedroom has a dormer bay window to flood the room with light. Gas central heating and full double glazing ensure year-round comfort and efficiency.
Externally, the house benefits from enclosed front and rear gardens, with the pleasant mature rear garden best-enjoyed from a raised decking area with convenient connection to the family room for al fresco dining. A converted garage acting as an external store room is attached to the side of the building, and a front driveway provides private off-street parking.
