THE PROPERTY
Waterside is a gorgeous, detached house that has been the family home of the current owners for over 20 years. During that time, the house has been beautifully maintained and is presented in excellent order. The views from the house and gardens are stunning and stretch across the estuary to the countryside beyond. The ground floor offers two entrance halls, with the main reception hall featuring a pair of glazed doors opening onto the terrace. The lovely kitchen / breakfast room, again with a door to the terrace, is well fitted with a good range of units, including a triple dresser, and integral appliances include an LPG Aga with electric companion, a large fridge and a dishwasher.

There is a walk-in pantry and a utility room off the kitchen. There are two reception rooms on this floor; the dining room featuring a gas fire set in wooden surround, and the living room featuring an open fire set in an ornate stone fireplace, a door to the terrace and superb views. Also on the ground floor is a spacious guest bedroom with an en suite bathroom. Stairs descend to the lower ground floor, which is a good size study/playroom with wall-to-wall library shelving. The first floor is approached via two staircases, one set of stairs rises to the main guest bedroom and en suite bathroom, and the second set of stairs rises to the main bedroom and two further double bedrooms, all en suite.

OUTSIDE
The gated driveway offers ample parking for numerous vehicles / boats and provides access to the large double garage with sail loft above, providing perfect storage or use as a hobby room (it measures 5’7 in height at the apex). Summer House, with WC and kitchenette and its own terrace, from which further steps lead down to a lower terrace. The southwest facing gardens are a delight, being largely laid to lawn and beautifully stocked with a colourful array of shrubs and flowers.

There is a full width paved terrace which runs along the length of the house and provides a wonderful al fresco dining area, with views of the estuary, and the sensational sunsets as the
perfect backdrop.
