Location
Superb clifftop location, with direct access to the beach and uninterrupted views of the coastline and ocean
Built in the 1970s, of traditional construction, Templeton is remarkable for its unrivalled clifftop setting, the very definition of a seaside residence. The exterior is white rendered with local stone cladding which is also a feature of the entrance hall, contrasting with the white wooden floors and white décor. The living room also features a stone chimney breast with inset wood burner, but attention is drawn to the fabulous location and views afforded by the extra wide windows and patio doors which open onto the south and west facing deck that spans the front of the house. To the right is the kitchen which also directly accesses the deck. There is plenty of space for a family sized table and it is fully fitted with integrated appliances and a gas range. Steps go down to a separate dining room.
Through the hall and up a couple of steps are four bedrooms. The principal bedroom is en suite and has the beautiful beach view. Three more bedrooms have a family bathroom and a shower room adjacent. Currently, one of these bedrooms is a snug /tv games room. The hall has two deep storage cupboards.
From the kitchen a door opens to the utility and boiler room and a staircase accesses the fifth bedroom, a double with en suite shower. The stairs descend to the lower ground floor. This is level with sloping, terraced garden and has a door that opens onto the path across the lawn with direct access to the coast path and beach. Hence the basement area is the perfect space for storage of beach paraphernalia and water sports equipment, with room for multiple surfboards, etc. The floor is tiled and there are wetsuit racks, a shower, wc. and laundry area.
Templeton is very well set up for maximum enjoyment of its beachside location.
A wide tarmacked drive, open to the lane, makes it easy to park several vehicles beside the house. The rest of the grounds are enclosed by a sturdy stone hedge and a fence, ensuring privacy and a secure playing space for children and pets.
The wrap around garden slopes gently towards the beach path with a terraced lawn. The deck along the front of the house is a great feature with space for barbecues, al fresco dining and sunbathing. A stream enters the garden along the perimeter and cascades under a stone footbridge to the beach. A private gate opens from the garden onto the footpath, where a few metres beyond, steps lead directly to the sand.
