About this property
Beautifully refurbished and modernised with its period features tastefully intact, this large family home is a 5-minute walk from the beach and Fore Street.

Upstairs over two more floors, are five bedrooms. Three are king sized en suites with sea glimpses or a garden view, while the remaining two are full sized bunk rooms. All the bedrooms are individually styled and furnished. The house has five bathrooms in total, making it easy for everyone to get ready in the morning or freshen up before a night out.
The outside space is stunning; natural materials and tropical planting give the whole area a laid-back feel. A large dining table with bespoke seating is perfect for fresh air feasts and barbecues under the festoon lighting, At the rear of the garden, a spacious hot tub sits beneath a canopy so guests can enjoy it all year round.
