GENERAL COMMENTS

The location of Sea View is very special and as the house name suggests the property benefits from fabulous countryside views with the sea in the distance. The whole property enjoys complete privacy yet is not isolated with neighbours along the lane. Originally three cottages, the end cottage was demolished some years ago when the property was made into one large property, The house has been greatly improved during our clients ownership and is very well presented throughout and retains much charm and character with modern additions including double glazing and central heating. The flat roof on the front extension was renewed a couple of years ago. The accommodation includes four double bedrooms and luxurious newly fitted bathroom on the first floor with large kitchen/dining room, sitting room, snug, front and rear porches downstairs. The sitting room has a woodburning stove and fabulous feature fireplace. The rear porch has plumbing connected for the addition of a downstairs w.c and utility room and this is something that the clients will be doing prior to completion. The house is surrounded by gardens of just over an acre and across the lane are the paddocks extending to approaching 4.5 acres divided into several useful enclosures and perfect for equestrian use or hobby farming. There is an excellent range of outbuildings with light and power and lots of parking.
