On the first floor of the main house are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, and a family bathroom. Several bedrooms enjoy superb sea views from the rear elevation. Annexe Potential The flexible layout offers excellent potential to create a two-bedroom self-contained annexe, ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or a holiday let (subject to any necessary consents). This area is accessed from the main house and currently comprises a spacious lounge/dining room with kitchen off, and a space-saver staircase leading to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms and a bathroom/WC.
