The Main House
Dating back to 1915, the main house has been the subject of careful refurbishment, blending modern living requirements with retained period charm. The accommodation is arranged over multiple floors, providing a well-balanced layout that separates formal entertaining spaces from private and guest accommodation.
The principal lounge provides a particularly inviting setting, featuring an elegant fireplace and ample seating space, enhanced by large windows which allow natural light to flood in while framing attractive views.
The property further benefits from an impressive formal dining room, perfectly suited to both large family occasions and guest entertaining. This elegant space features a striking fireplace with a timber surround and parquet flooring underfoot, while its generous proportions allow for a substantial dining table with ease. Large windows enhance the room with natural light, and the open flow through to adjoining reception areas creates a wonderful sense of connectivity, ideal for hosting and sociable gatherings.
The country-style kitchen is equally appealing, fitted with shaker-style cabinetry, solid wood worktops and space for a central dining table, creating a sociable hub of the home.
The ground floor also incorporates additional reception rooms along with a useful annex-style layout, providing further bedroom accommodation and independent living potential if required.
To the upper floors, a generous arrangement of bedrooms and bathrooms continues, with a traditional landing layout providing access to a number of well-proportioned rooms. The principal bedroom offers a particularly attractive and restful retreat, featuring generous proportions and a characterful fireplace, combining period charm with comfort.
The bath and shower rooms are well-appointed and thoughtfully finished, offering a blend of classic and contemporary styling. Freestanding baths create a sense of luxury and relaxation, while separate shower rooms with modern fittings and enclosed glazed units provide practicality for both family living and guest use. The consistent standard throughout reinforces both the comfort of the home and its suitability for ongoing hospitality or letting purposes.
Many of the upper rooms benefit from elevated views, with several enjoying far-reaching outlooks across the surrounding countryside towards the coastline and sea beyond, an ever-changing backdrop that further enhances the appeal of the accommodation.
The second floor provides a significant additional space, currently utilised as storage with further bedroom accommodation, presenting excellent scope for reconfiguration or enhancement.
A basement level adds further practicality, ideal for storage, plant and utility use.
The separate cottage is a standout feature of the property, offering a beautifully presented and entirely self-contained living space, ideal for holiday letting, guest accommodation or multi-generational living.
The Cottage
Arranged across a practical single-storey layout, the cottage centres around a stylish open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, characterised by vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a light-filled, contemporary finish. Large glazed openings frame views across the surrounding countryside towards the coast, creating a strong sense of space and connection to the landscape, while a feature log-burning stove adds warmth and character.
The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with shaker-style units, quality fittings and ample room for dining, delivering both practicality and visual appeal.
The cottage offers well-proportioned bedroom accommodation alongside a beautifully appointed bathroom featuring a freestanding roll-top bath beneath a skylight, creating a luxurious and relaxing environment. A separate garden room with en-suite further enhances the versatility of the space.
Overall, the cottage provides a turnkey opportunity with excellent income potential.
