DESCRIPTION Stunning sea views and light and bright versatile accommodation can be found in this large semi-detached period farmhouse. The property could easily be divided in half, to provide two separate living accommodations for dual family occupancy or holiday letting opportunities. This characterful property was also once a successful bed and breakfast with 3 of the 6 bedrooms enjoying en-suite shower rooms. The property briefly comprises entrance hall, living room/dining room, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, rear porch, utility room, downstairs bathroom, bedroom 6/study and access in to the attached workshop. On the first floor, accessed from the entrance hall, are two en-suite double bedrooms, family bathroom and further double bedroom. From the stairs in the kitchen on the first floor, both bedrooms look towards the sea with stunning views of the coastline and one more being en-suite. There is also a door through this double bedroom back to other first floor landing. Outside the property is approached via a five bar gate with generous private driveway with ample parking spaces for several vehicles. Due to the split up and sale of the original farmstead, you approach the property from the rear, with the front now benefitting from an enclosed courtyard garden. The other side of the driveway is a private lawn garden with spectacular views of the coast and useful large storage building. Due to its versatility the property is certain to generate high interest with early viewing highly recommended.
