The garden is another wow factor for this property as well, including a decked seating area with seating currently for 10+ people and the current owners have a pull down projector screen for outdoor movie nights and the outside heater allows for this area to be enjoyed all year round. There is also a large patio area under cover which currently hosts the coy pond and an additional seating area.

Within the plot are multiple outbuildings including a workshop, summer house and the largest of the outbuildings currently includes a living area, bar and dining area, just to give you an idea of how spacious it is. This could potentially be converted into an annex or home gym depending on your needs. This property has been fully refurbished to a high standard and absolutely must be seen in person to be able to fully appreciate everything that is on offer here as the pictures cannot capture just how spacious this property is and the endless potential it comes with. Located on a large corner plot, directly opposite the beach, this truly unique property is not one to miss. ## Property Photos - ![Kitchen/breakfast ro](/listings/photos/75356382/337812) - Kitchen/breakfast ro - ![Lounge](/listings/photos/75356382/337814) - Lounge - ![Dining Room](/listings/photos/75356382/337820) - Dining Room - ![Front](/listings/photos/75356382/337821) - Front - ![Dining Room](/listings/photos/75356382/337824) - Dining Room - ![Bathroom](/listings/photos/75356382/337825) - Bathroom - ![Bedroom 1](/listings/photos/75356382/337831) - Bedroom 1 - ![Bedroom 3](/listings/photos/75356382/337833) - Bedroom 3 - ![Bedroom 4](/listings/photos/75356382/337834) - Bedroom 4 - ![Bedroom 2](/listings/photos/75356382/337840) - Bedroom 2 - ![Bedroom 5](/listings/photos/75356382/337842) - Bedroom 5 - ![Study](/listings/photos/75356382/337845) - Study - ![Garden](/listings/photos/75356382/337847) - Garden - ![Bathroom](/listings/photos/75356382/337848) - Bathroom - ![Garden](/listings/photos/75356382/337849) - Garden - ![Rear Views](/listings/photos/75356382/337851) - Rear Views - ![Rear Views](/listings/photos/75356382/337856) - Rear Views - ![2nd Outbuilding](/listings/photos/75356382/337857) - 2nd Outbuilding - ![Garden](/listings/photos/75356382/337859) - Garden - ![Picture No.22](/listings/photos/75356382/337861) - Picture No.22 ## Floorplans - ![CWQuickSketch.jpg](/listings/photos/75356382/337863) - CWQuickSketch.jpg ## EPC Graphs - ![EPC](/listings/photos/75356382/337865) - EPC - ![EPC.jpg](/listings/photos/75356382/337869) - EPC.jpg ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
