Description
Elevated coastal home with panoramic views over Marble Hill Beach
Set in a truly idyllic position, this is a charming detached home occupying an elevated site with sweeping views across Marble Hill Beach and Sheephaven Bay, only a short walk to Marble Hill Beach and adjacent to the Shandon Hotel & Spa.
The house is approached via pillars and a gated entrance which opens onto a gravel driveway and off this to a stone cobbled entrance in front of the house.
Internally, the accommodation is bright and well-proportioned, arranged across a single level to facilitate easy and comfortable lateral living. At the heart of the home is a spacious open-plan kitchen/living area, featuring a classic fireplace and a large picture window that perfectly frames the magnificent view. Off this space lies a sunroom, ideal for enjoying the ever-changing light and sea views in all seasons.
The living area leads into a bedroom corridor, comprising two bedrooms, one of which benefits from an ensuite shower room along with a separate shower room. The house was formerly a 3 bedroom home and the ensuite can be easily converted back to a bedroom.
