The property is perfectly located in a picturesque setting, just a short walk from the stunning Freshwater Bay beach and a variety of the village's cafes and restaurants. The bay is renowned for its unique geology and coastal rock formations, including the famous 'Stag' and 'Mermaid' rocks, and the beach is primarily pebbled, with chalk deposits from the surrounding cliffs.
