Entry to the property brings you into the ground floor open plan living area, which is a lovely light open area combining a kitchen, dining area, lounge and snug, making this the perfect space for your family or friends to gather and spend quality time together, while still being able to enjoy your individual pursuits.

The contemporary shaker style kitchen, complete with a central island/breakfast bar, is well equipped with good quality appliances, including a double oven with separate grill and ceramic hob, integrated fridge-freezer, separate wine fridge, microwave, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, food processor and a Magimix Nespresso coffee machine.

Opposite the kitchen is the snug. This cosy corner is south facing and comprises comfortable seating and a Smart TV – the ideal place to enjoy some quiet time watching your favourite programme or taking the time to finally read that book you have always wanted to read, all while enjoying the sun streaming in through the window!

Around the corner you will find the lounge area.

There is also a selection of board games, jigsaws, maps and books on offer to provide entertainment for the whole family. In the summer you can open up the bi-fold doors to make the most of the warm sea air, or in the winter you can get toasty in front of the electric wood burning stove!
