This very attractive, double fronted period house, with its distinctive twin window bays set on either side of its pillared entrance, is located within the heart of the village, within a minutes walk of the beach and has lovely harbour and sea views from both the lounge and the main bedroom.

The property has undergone a meticulous renovation for the current owner with no expense spared as well as a substantial rear extension to form the sizeable property it is today with its well balanced accommodation that has been stylishly finished and is presented to give a lovely seaside and boutique feel.

The property has a large garden for the area that has been landscaped to form a lawned garden with mature planted flower beds as well as a generous split level patio with its feature slate flagstones, that is situated directly off from the kitchen/ dining room and is a real sun trap with its southerly aspect.
