With off-road parking for three cars, a warming woodburning stove, stunning sea views, super-fast fibre broadband and partial ground-floor living, this inviting home is perfect for families or friends seeking a coastal escape, offering easy access to stunning beaches and scenic walks. Driving up to the property, you're welcomed by a homely exterior and the invigorating scent of fresh sea air, with the coastline just ahead and large windows inviting natural light into every corner. The peaceful setting and sea-facing position offer a sense of calm and anticipation for the stay ahead. Step inside and find yourself in a bright and beautifully finished kitchen/diner, where sleek fixtures and thoughtful touches create a space that’s both functional and elegant. Pull out a chair or settle onto the bench at the dining table, and enjoy the sociable atmosphere as you prepare meals and share stories of your adventures. A generous internal opening connects the kitchen to the sitting room, allowing light to spill through and linking the spaces with ease. Wander through and take a seat on the sofa in the inviting sitting room, where a woodburning stove promises warmth on cooler evenings. Above the fireplace, a wall-mounted TV blends seamlessly into the harmonious interior, which features quaint peach wallpaper and furnishings chosen to complement the overall aesthetic. A door opens out to a private patio — a serene spot to sip your morning coffee or raise a glass as the sun dips below the horizon. From here, enjoy seating with sea views, adding a touch of magic to your moments of rest. The ground floor also hosts two well-presented bedrooms, a king-size and a super-king-size, which can be laid out as a twin, for flexible sleeping arrangements. The super-king-size offers its own TV and a door leading out to a second private patio, providing a peaceful retreat. This bedroom also enjoys sea views and a charming sitting area, perfect for quiet reflection or reading. Head upstairs to discover two further bedrooms, each with its own TV and one with en-suite facilities featuring walk-in shower, basin, heated towel rail and WC. These rooms are plush and thoughtfully styled, with wall-mounted TVs, desk areas, hanging space, and armchairs. The décor throughout reflects a cohesive aesthetic, with matching tones and patterns across bedding and furnishings that create a sense of unity and comfort. A family shower room with a walk-in shower, basin, heated towel rail and WC completes the interior of this charming property, offering a refreshing space to unwind after a day exploring the coast. Outside, the front garden features a well-kept lawn and furniture, while to the rear, an outstanding terrace garden offers a beautifully arranged space with sea views. Whether you're dining outdoors, spending time together, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a book, these appealing area is designed to be enjoyed year-round.
