About
Individual detached three-bedroom bungalow situated in an elevated western position with far-reaching sea views, garden, garage and parking.
The Property: Four Gables is a delightful detached three bedroom bungalow, attractively positioned in an elevated cul-de-sac on the western side of the town enjoying far reaching sea views.
The property offers generous accommodation throughout, with bright, well proportioned rooms and wrap around attractive gardens.
Four Gables is now in need of some modernisation, and benefits from planning permission for a large extension (see reference below.)

A covered front porch leads into a good sized entrance porch, with an internal door opening into the hallway where there is a useful storage cupboard and a double cloakroom cupboard.

The kitchen benefits from two serving hatches one to the living room and one to the dining room, as well as a shelved larder cupboard.
A French door opens into the lean to utility/store, with quarry tiled flooring and space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer and additional appliances, ideal for general storage, barbecues and garden equipment.
