EPC Rating: C Owners Insight "Our home has been a place of great happiness for our family, where we’ve created countless treasured memories.
There is so much we will miss particularly the peaceful surroundings, the beautiful views, and having the seafront just a short walk away.
We appreciate that new owners may wish to see the property as a blank canvas, with the opportunity to modernise and tailor it to their own style.
That flexibility is something we believe will really appeal.
Above all, we hope that whoever comes next will enjoy the home as much as we have, and create their own special memories here."
