Leim Farm is a distinctive coastal home set within private grounds in an elevated position a short distance from the white sands of Leim Beach. The property is well suited as a substantial family home, a peaceful retreat or, subject to the necessary consents, an income-generating venture, with its flexible accommodation adapting easily to a range of uses.

Leim Farm is centred around an attractive and sheltered courtyard, forming a private and welcoming outdoor space with seating areas, lawns, flower beds, a small pond and a Hartley Botanic greenhouse. Beyond the courtyard, the grounds open out to take full advantage of the surrounding setting. A south-facing patio lies directly off the kitchen, creating a natural extension for outdoor dining, while the wider grounds provide immediate access to coastal walks and the nearby beach.

The accommodation begins with a striking double-height, circular reception hall, impressive point of arrival and leads through to the principal living spaces. The welcoming sitting area is particularly generous, set beneath a galleried landing and centred around a wall-mounted gas fire and multi-fuel stove. A separate snug offers a more intimate setting, featuring an open fireplace with stone surround and timber mantel, with sliding glazed doors opening eastwards to the garden and drawing in natural light. Adjacent is a well-appointed family bathroom with a corner Jacuzzi bath.

The oak-panelled library is a notable feature of the house, complete with bespoke bookcases, a living flame gas fire and a hidden doorway. The breakfasting kitchen is well-equipped with a range of wall and floor mounted custom oak cabinetry, granite work surfaces, a Mercury dual-fuel range and a central island, with ample space for dining. A utility room sits adjacent.

The ground floor includes three bedrooms, one with en suite shower room, and the other two serviced by a separate shower room and WC. A particular highlight is the indoor swimming pool, extending to approximately 18 ft and fitted with a counter-current system, together with a sauna, forming an excellent leisure facility within the house.

On the first floor, the stunning observatory provides a striking and light-filled space, with triple aspect glazing allowing natural light to move throughout the day and framing views across the surrounding landscape towards the sea. Glazed doors open directly onto a generous decked terrace which enjoys spectacular far reaching views.

Adjoining is a large games room with dual aspect, offering excellent flexibility with space for a snooker table together with a sink and integrated fridge.

The principal bedroom suite is well arranged, with floor-to-ceiling glazing taking full advantage of the elevated position and outlook, and access to a private south-facing balcony. The suite includes an en-suite bathroom with Jacuzzi bath and a walk-in dressing room. Further accommodation at first floor level includes a double bedroom with adjoining room and en suite facilities, a nursery, a further bedroom and an office.

Considerable thought has been given to energy efficiency, with features including double glazing, a Stiebel Eltron ground source heat pump, linked solar panels, wet underfloor heating and radiators, and supplementary electric heating in key areas.

Outbuildings include a substantial garage and a barn/boathouse with double doors, offering useful storage and further versatility.
