About this property

  • Sanddancer Cottage is an attractive property which was built and completed by the current owners in 2011. The house occupies an elevated plot and has accommodation over two floors with the living accommodation at first floor showcasing the panoramic views from the main reception room and kitchen area. At the heart of the house is the first floor living space where there is a large open plan sitting room and dining area with kitchen, separated centrally by a wood burning stove. Off the dining area are bi fold doors which give access to the upper terrace. The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern units with integrated appliances which include an induction hob with extractor fan above, fridge / freezer, dishwasher, Zanussi oven and grill and a coffee machine. Also at first floor level is a bedroom and adjacent cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin.

    On the ground floor are three double bedrooms with the principal bedroom benefitting from an en suite bathroom as well as having double doors which open out to the garden. There is a bathroom with shower which is situated opposite and next to the other two bedrooms. At the end of the corridor is a utility room which links with the garage.

    The main portion of garden sits to the west of the house and is mainly laid to lawn, but there is a terrace for outdoor dining and alongside is a hot tub. There are colourful borders and steps which lead up to a raised sun terrace where wonderful views to the coast can be enjoyed. Off the dining area is a large east facing terrace with further incredible views over the immediate countryside and coast.

    On the east side of the house is parking for several cars and there is access here to the garage.
