Step inside and hang your coats in the reception lobby, before entering the heart of the house – a bright open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining area. This space is framed by wraparound windows overlooking the mature garden, trees and valley beyond. Comfortable sofa seating and a Smart TV make the lounge section perfect for relaxed evenings together, while the large dining table sets you up for convivial mealtimes.

Each bedroom also features a TV with an Amazon Firestick for added comfort.

You’ll have plenty of space to relax outside, too. There’s a lovely mature private garden, filled with a variety of shrubs and plants and bordered by a small stream that leads to the beach. A spacious terrace provides seating for everyone and is ideal for long summer evenings dining outdoors, with a gas BBQ ready for relaxed holiday feasts. Steps lead down to the lawned garden, where there’s ample for children and dogs to enjoy the fresh coastal air. A pathway provides direct access towards the beach.
