The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms alongside a spacious family bathroom, making it ideally suited to family living and entertaining. The ground floor is approached via a covered front porch which opens into a spacious and welcoming entrance hallway, setting the tone for the generous proportions found throughout the house.

On the opposite side is a versatile study area, which could easily be incorporated into the main reception space if desired.

The farmhouse-style kitchen is separate from the reception rooms and offers a traditional and practical layout, complete with a cast-iron wood-fired stove and a generous dining area, making it a warm and sociable space at the heart of the home. Following off the kitchen, a practical utility room and downstairs shower room proving functional for use after a day on the beach.
