The First Floor Principal Bedroom and Bathroom 2:

Regency romance springs to life in a beautiful principal bedroom of dual aspect. Spanning the full width of the building, this room bathes in sunlight. French doors stretch almost to the ceiling and sweep out to a west facing balcony where you can enjoy the view of the sea sparkling at the end of the lane.

Next door, a large, luxury bathroom has both a freestanding slipper bath and separate, walk in shower with a dual head system. The tall sash window is half frosted for privacy and the traditional hand basin has a shaving/toothbrush point. An airing cupboard is just outside.

Two Second Floor Bedrooms:

Big and bright, the front bedroom (4) also spans the whole width of the house with twin, custom made double wardrobes and fitted shelving. There was once a sink in this room, raising interesting possibilities.

Quiet and comfortable, the fifth bedroom is also a double with a large east window at the back for the morning sunshine and a skylight in the vaulted ceiling so you can sleep beneath the stars.

Vendor’s Comments:

“We immediately fell in love with this charming house which is always light and inviting – and lovely and airy during high summer. A very happy and sociable home which has easily adapted to our changing needs, it’s the ideal place for friends to meet before a night out in the city as there’s plenty of space here for them to mill around in! Surprisingly quiet at night and at weekends, the location is hard to beat. There’s always something to do or see in the village whatever your mood and the sea, beach bars, open air pool, outdoor gym, yoga studio and a playground with café looking over the beach – to name just a few attractions- are at the bottom of the lane out of hearing and everything you could possibly want is easy to walk to, including the Lanes and station”
