Small but perfectly formed with all the mod-cons you could need including a stylish wetroom, it has its own entrance making it perfect for guests, family, or as an additional income stream. To the right, is the front door, which is housed in a stylishly clad entrance porch.

As soon as you walk through the front door you’re drawn to the bright open-plan kitchen/dining room. This space is the hub of the house and is perfect for entertaining friends and family. A contemporary grey shaker-style kitchen wraps around the walls and a central island, with a butler sink and bar stools, takes centre stage. Housing state-of-the-art appliances there’s a double Smeg range cooker, integrated dishwasher, and a Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer. Light blue geometric tiles add a touch of colour, and industrial-style pendant lights finish the space off.

In the dining area, where the sea can be seen from the banquet seating, bi-fold doors open up to the terrace which has a modern grey decking and space for a table and chairs, and loungers.

The south-facing garden is beautifully landscaped and very low-maintenance. Steps lead down to an artificial lawn, with plenty of space for children to play. An office space at the end of the garden is an excellent addition and can be utilised in so many different ways.

Also on the ground floor is a cosy living room, dubbed the ‘snug’ by its current owners, a downstairs cloakroom, and a practical utility cupboard under the stairs.

Stairs lead to the carpeted first floor, where you’ll find three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The largest of the bedrooms sits at the front of the house, and its curved bay window has views down to the village and over the Downs.

The family bathroom is immaculate with a double walk-in shower enclosure, a white suite, and stylish marble effect tiles with underfloor heating.

On the second floor, peacefully situated away from the rest of the house, is the stunning principal suite. With far-reaching sea views from the Juliette balcony, a freestanding bath, and a dressing area - it is the dream bedroom.
