The property was constructed in the early 1960's by the current family and while the house offers flexible accommodation, it requires modernisation. Locally there has been significant re-development of one-off housing so there is scope to extend and renovate the property subject to the necessary planning permissions.

    In all the cottage extends to approximately 76 sq m / 820 sq ft. A layout of the accommodation is shown on the accompanying floorplans.

    Outbuildings
    There is a storage shed to the rear of the main house which could be developed to form part of the main house if required.

    Grounds
    A key feature of the property is the surrounding grounds which offers about 350 metres of sea frontage. There is a sheltered lawn area around the house which is fantastic for entertaining and appreciating the view.

    There is about 33.7 acres in one block which is above the road and about 10.8 acres with the cottage below the road.

    In all, the lands extend to about 18 hectares / 44.5 acres.
