No. 3 The Lugger is a delightful mid terraced cottage that has been lived in and lovingly cared for by two generations of the current family since the 1930's creating a deceptively spacious and attractive family home. The magnificent long gardens are a true delight and take full advantage from every level of the extensive sea and country views over Gerrans Bay. The accommodation comprises; on the ground floor, entrance porch, lounge with open fireplace and beamed ceiling, separate dining room, modern fitted kitchen and utility area, bathroom, separate w.c. and bedroom with shower facility. On the first floor there are three further bedrooms two of which have lovely views and the master having an en-suite w.c. To the front there is a lovely sitting out area and garden, and beautiful gardens to the rear with a profusion of magnificent plants and shrubs and several delightful sitting out terraces compliment the property well and its desirable location. Viewing strongly recommended.
