The Beach House offers more than 2,000 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged in an upside-down configuration over two floors, designed to maximise the stunning southerly views from the rear aspect over the beach and The Solent. With an A grade energy rating, air source heat pump and solar panels, this energy efficient property is ideal as a family or holiday home, or for use as high-quality self-catering accommodation.

Stairs rise from the reception hall to an extensive 38 ft open plan first floor room with wood-lined walls and a vaulted ceiling, which benefits from an en suite cloakroom and useful eaves storage running the full length of each side of the room. The space is configured to provide a front aspect kitchen with a range of contemporary base units, complementary work surfaces and splashbacks and modern integrated appliances together with drawing and dining areas with space for sizeable seating and dining areas, the current drawing area having patio doors to a 19ft rear aspect balcony overlooking the beach.

The rear garden, a particular feature of this property, is gravelled both for ease of maintenance and to provide a seamless segue to the beach and features a sizeable paved patio area, part-covered by the first-floor balcony, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
