Owners Insight

“We have lived here since 2020 and started our family here. It has been a lovely home to start to bring our daughter up in, especially with the short and easy walk to the town, the shops, the harbour and the beach. I will especially miss the private sun trap on the decking - I have enjoyed relaxing, reading many books here soaking in the sunshine - and being within walking distance to the beaches.”
