The house is link-detached by its garage – only at Ground Floor level, which has no effect on the enjoyment of the use of the property. The accommodation is bright and spacious, and in addition to being well-presented, there is scope to extend to the side of the house, or above the garage as other owners in the close have set precedence. As well as the garage, there is additional parking for 3 vehicles. The interior design of the house and the landscaping of the delightful South-facing gardens both follow a ‘Beach House’ theme. The front garden features rustic groins and rocks, rope-clad fencing and grasses with a stepping stone pathway meandering from the parking area to the front of the house. From the main reception area, bi-fold doors open to bring the outside in, with interaction between the house and the sociable area of the garden, which includes a superb pizza oven and seating area, as well as a beach hut summer house. The garden is enclosed and private, being both child and pet friendly. This is simply one of those properties that needs to be viewed internally to be appreciated.
