Vendor comment:

“We bought it because it was within easy reach of the sailing academy where my daughter was training at the time. The property has always felt really warm, quiet and homely when we had the opportunity to stay there. It served as a great second home, then holiday let, while also home to some of the gbr Olympic team and laterally has proved to be a sound rental property. We built the wet room out the back as we thought it important for sailors and scuba divers need a place to wash and dry equipment. Fun fact about the property is that during the Olympics it was used as the base for the International Anti Doping Agency”
