Accommodation
Inside Space
Built with the beach in mind, the spacious entrance lobby has plenty of room to ditch the boards and bags after a trip to the beach, or indeed the muddy wellies if the weather has turned! This useful area gives way to the central hallway, where the vaulted ceilings and stone tiled floors are flooded with light from large French doors which open onto the patio and entertaining space which sits cocooned by the two wings of the house. The open plan kitchen and dining area lead directly off this beautiful space and create a wonderful flow between indoors and outdoors. A useful utility room with access to outside leads off the kitchen and works as an alternative entrance for sand-covered kids or muddy dogs.
The cosy lounge features a multi-fuel log burner set within a slate hearth, a wonderful place for evening boardgames or a glass of something lovely by the fire. The beamed vaulted ceiling and wooden floor create a feeling of warmth and space, and two windows reveal glimpses towards the bay.
Three of the four bedrooms are on this floor, including the spacious master with ensuite which enjoys views over the rear garden. Two further bedrooms sit either side of the family bathroom, both featuring vaulted ceilings and oak beams, and all decorated with coastal touches.
The lower ground floor is accessed by stairs from the dining area and is the perfect kids holiday zone. Housing a large bedroom with a double bed and a set of bunk beds, a shower room and a games room which features a superb pool table, this bonus area also has access to the back garden, so the games can continue outside when the sun shines.
Outside space
Little House has a large rear garden with patio and lawn areas, perfect for entertaining on those balmy summer evenings. Open up the French doors and enjoy the sheltered gathering space that is created between the wings of the house, either a wonderful place to dine or just to sit and catch some rays. With a large lawn and mature borders, this enclosed garden has room for the whole family to enjoy some outside time.
