SELLER'S INSIGHT Over 8 years ago, when we were first looking for our next home, there were a number of boxes that the perfect house needed to tick, although we did expect to have to make compromises.

They were:- 1. A detached house. 2. A southerly facing private garden. 3. A tranquil setting. 4. Ample off road parking. 5. A double garage for lots of storage! 6.

Close to a lovely beach and nature walks. 7. A great space for working from home.

We were over the moon when we found 15 Louise Close, as it ticked every single box, something that we never thought was going to be possible.

In the summer we love the short walk to the beach (before breakfast!) to go for a swim and all year round we thrive on walks around the nearby and beautiful Naze nature reserve and its stunning ever-changing landscape.

When family visit, we enjoy many hours hunting for sharks teeth and sea-glass along the shoreline.

On the top floor of the house you will see that I have created a studio where I write and produce music.

It has proved to be the perfect space and I have spent many inspirational hours up there during our time here, with the added bonus of an impressive sea view.

It would also make a perfect 'office' to work from home.

We have lived here as a couple, but the space in the house is generous enough to also make a great family home, with the top floor becoming another bedroom complete with its en-suite.

The open plan kitchen, dining and relaxing area is perfect when we have company and the welcoming sitting room is ideal to retreat to after dinner.

We love to barbeque and eat outside on the sunny patio as often as the weather allows, which is frequently here on the 'Sunshine Coast'.

Conversely, on the coldest of winter days, the two Scandinavian-designed log burners provide all the warmth and cosy vibes you will ever need.

We have been delighted with the tranquil setting of the house and sitting outside with a morning coffee just listening to the birds singing is a wonderful treat.

It's now time to start the next chapter of our lives but we will always remember our happy years here.
