Property description

Offering versatile accommodation, ideal for a family with an elderly or dependent relative, this 2/3 bedroom detached home has the benefit for an additional 1 bedroom self-contained annexe, ideal for an elderly or dependent relative, older/teenage children or perhaps home and income. The property enjoys superb views towards the Torrs and countryside and has a large raised sun terrace and low maintenance garden, extensive storage and excellent off road parking. The National Trust own Torrs are nearby and the high street and amenities within easy reach.

St. Brelades is a well-presented and very versatile family home situated in a popular location close to the local amenities and just a short stroll from the picturesque National Trust owned Torrs which has miles of walking along some fabulous coastal footpaths. The property has the considerable benefit of a separate but adjoining one bedroom annexe which is perfect for an elderly or disabled relative or for use by older/teenage children wanting their own private space. Furthermore, the annexe could also be permanently let or holiday let to provide a useful supplementary income. The main part of the home has spacious 2/3 bedroom accommodation with a cosy yet spacious lounge, a kitchen/breakfast room and a delightful uPVC double glazed conservatory which overlooks the garden and enjoys the superb views towards the Torrs and the countryside.

The home is located on the popular Langleigh Road which is situated approximately 1/4 mile from the town centre and sea front. The Torrs provides plenty of nearby footpaths enjoying some splendid coastal scenery, ideal for dog walkers. The town has a variety of independent shops, schools for all ages, a Tesco, Co-Op and Lidl supermarkets, a Theatre and plenty of good quality restaurants and bars. Damien Hirst's 'Verity' statue stands over the picturesque harbour and his influence has seen the emergence of plenty of small art galleries and studios. There are beaches at Tunnels, Wildersmouth and within the harbour area.

An entrance lobby leads through into the entrance hall which has all rooms leading off. There is a hatch to a large boarded loft space which has access via a folding ladder.

The far end of the room is set up as the kitchen and sitting space and double doors open onto the rear raised sun terrace as well as having the views towards the Torrs. There is also a modern fitted shower room and wc.

Whilst the annexe is ideal for an elderly relative or for independent living space for teenage/older children, it would also work well as a home working area as an office or similar if required.
