Description
Positioned to capture far-reaching views across the estuary, this distinctive property comprises two independent dwellings: The original farmhouse and a newly extended residence. Together, they offer an appealing blend of flexible accommodation and income-generating potential, ideal for private use, multi-generational living, or continued operation as a holiday business.
The original farmhouse, which is rich in character and charm - includes a separate multi-purpose space currently used as a games room. Whether used as a main residence or to continue generating income as a well-established holiday let. The extended contemporary building also offers ideal living space.
Set within a landscape-designed garden, the grounds complement the elevated setting and maximise privacy, while framing the panoramic estuary views.
