What the Owner says:

This is been a wonderful family home for 27 years but are starting a new adventure although we shall be staying in the same area as we love Minnis Bay. We have extended the house to include the dining/garden room and made the property more open plan. We redesigned the garden and made the property more energy efficient with solar panels and an air source heat pump.
