Combining peaceful surroundings with easy access to the seafront, nature and everyday amenities, this is a home perfectly positioned to enjoy the very best of coastal living.

Designed with modern family life in mind, the property boasts well-proportioned accommodation throughout, including a spacious lounge ideal for relaxing together, a bright and welcoming kitchen providing the heart of the home, with dining room accessed through the lounge that is currently used as a home office space, with both the dining room and kitchen offering access through to the conservatory which benefits from recently renewed roof, with the added practicality of a downstairs cloakroom completing the ground floor accomodation.
