The spacious living dining room is simply decorated with focus on the magnificent view which sweeps across rooftops below to the homes across the valley and obliquely to the sea. There is ample space and tall, glazed doors slide across to the lit balcony.

Next door, with a picture window to frame the open view, the kitchen diner is bright and cheerful with a door to the balcony for al fresco entertaining. Ideal for parties, but also for family time, there’s space for a big table and two levels of lighting for ambience. Expertly planned with high-spec appliances and practical working surfaces, the streamlined kitchen flows around the central gas hob and oven beneath a hood and integrated dishwasher. As you’d expect of a home of this quality there’s a separate utility room with a skylight and access to the garage.
Quiet and comfortable, the principal bedroom is a flexible space. Currently used as a family room, it enjoys the wonderful views and also has access to the balcony. Central to the house, the second bedroom is very private and provides floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes. Facing out to the front garden, the third double bedroom is simple but stylish and also has fitted storage.

Across the hallway, the fabulous wet room has a dual head shower, sleek vanity below the hand basin, heated towel rail and lit mirror. Nextdoor is the 2nd WC with its hand basin and natural light.
Outside, the balcony has broad steps down to the beautiful garden, and there is also access via a side gate. A bridge leads past a water feature to a large deck, raised to catch the sun and with plenty of space for dining. Looking over a big lawn made child and pet secure by painted fencing, there is a secret seating area tucked beneath mature shrubs and trees for some shade.
Discreetly hidden away, the studio apartment is tucked under the balcony. Good to go as a B&B, home office or for family, inside has a contemporary finish with 2 cupboards built in, a smart kitchenette with a touch induction hob and space for an oven, fridge and microwave and at the far end, the shower room is high end.
