What the owners say.

"We have absolutely loved living here. One of the things we'll miss most is the peace and quiet, while still being just a short walk from the beach. It really has given us the best of both worlds.

We often head out for walks to the nearby viewpoints to take in the stunning coastal scenery, and on warm evenings there's nothing better than strolling down to the marinas to enjoy a sundowner and watch the boats come and go. It's a wonderful lifestyle that has made every day feel that little bit more special.

The garden has been a real sanctuary for us. It's fully enclosed, making it perfect for pets, and there's always somewhere to sit, whether you want to soak up the sunshine or relax in a hammock beneath the mature trees on those hotter summer days. The covered terrace is where we spend a lot of time all year round, rain or shine. It’s a wonderful spot to have breakfast or curl up with a book.

The house is always flooded with light, but still has a homely feel, especially in the winter, when we love relaxing in front of the open fire with a glass of wine.

The space has also worked brilliantly for us. The garages beneath the house have been ideal for storage, hobbies and keeping our classic car protected from the weather. The large driveway has easily accommodated our boat, caravan and visiting family and friends, with parking for four or more cars without ever feeling crowded.

Leaving won't be easy, as this home has given us so many happy memories. We hope the next owners enjoy the same wonderful lifestyle, peaceful setting and incredible coastal location that we've been so lucky to call home."
