General

This is a huge, handsome detached house set high looking out over South Sands with the most sensational views along the estuary. One and a half acres of stepped, mature wooded garden (small pond) surround it, with numerous, shallow steps down to a little gate at the bottom leading to a private footpath and the beach. No one overlooks. There are several flat, sunning areas and a lovely mixture of neat flowering shrubs and wildness. Table tennis under wooden deck and outdoor shower – very handy for sandy bodies up from the beach.

Fifty yards of private hardcore lane lead to it, on a no through road. From the parking area, 17 steps down to front door to hall; stairs down to very large open-plan beautifully fitted kitchen/dining room (dishwasher, microwave, large fridge-freezer plus drinks fridge, oil-fired Aga plus electric oven/hob) with granite worktops, Belfast sink, table/chairs comfortably seating 12 and doors to huge, enclosed wooden deck (table/chairs/sun loungers/cushions) with those fabulous views; double doors to living room which is split-level (3 steps) with TV/DVD, open fire, comfy seating for 12 and estuary views.

At the back of the house, a twin bedroom, a beach room with huge shower and Belfast sink, loo (washbasin) and a utility room with washing machine and tumble drier. Stairs up to five more bedrooms: double with 6’ four-poster bed, 2 steps down to en suite bathroom (suite plus separate shower) and door to balcony, double (5’ bed) with en suite bathroom (suite plus separate shower), double with en suite shower-room (suite), all with stunning estuary views, a twin, and a little room with a folding child’s bed/or cot (limited clothes-hanging space). Bathroom (suite plus hand-shower). More stairs up to a vast attic room with four single beds, games TV, table football, folding beds (by arrangement) and en suite shower-room (suite). There is also a modest, little detached garden house with small kitchen/living area, bedroom with double cabin bed and shower-room (suite) – good for an older sibling or as a den.

A fabulous family house, but, as with any home, small children should be supervised.
