An interesting and distinctive Modernist house, built around 1936, understood to have been designed according to the principles of architect Rudolph Steiner. The layout of the original house included no right angles and features include angular asymmetric details such as the stone porch, window lintels and internal archways. The elevations are of whitened render with UPVC double glazed windows under a multi-faceted slate roof, and the house has the benefit of mains gas fired central heating. Most rooms in the house enjoy delightful aspects over the gardens towards the woodland beyond, with some first floor windows enjoying sea glimpses through the trees in the winter.

The accommodation includes an entrance porch with stone surround, with the oak front door opening into entrance vestibule and then into the spacious reception hall. This has an elegant staircase with oak handrail, understairs storage, a boiler cupboard also housing the water softener, and a guest cloakroom leading off. From the hall, double doors open into the double drawing room having a door to the garden and a Victorian marble fireplace with tiled inset and open grate. The useful study has a glazed screen with glass shelving from the hall and an understairs store. The ‘L' shaped kitchen/ breakfast room has a range of units in white with wood work surfaces, island unit, gas hob, double oven, fridge, space for table and chairs, twin ceiling lanterns and doors to the garden and utility room. The library can also be used as a dining room and has patio doors to the good size conservatory at the rear.
