Description This detached Edwardian property, believed to have been constructed around 1910, was originally designed as a bungalow. The current owners have thoughtfully raised the roof to create two additional bedrooms, offering views over the allotment, countryside, and a distant glimpse of the sea.

The present owner, a skilled cabinet maker, has infused the home with the warmth and elegance of natural timber. The kitchen is a highlight, featuring solid oak units and granite work surfaces, complemented by an oak staircase leading to the first floor. The pantry is fitted with solid oak shelving, and the spacious principal bedroom boasts built-in oak cupboards. The second bedroom and the second reception room, currently used as a home office, feature built-in cupboards crafted from ash. This versatile room could also serve as a lovely dining room or a ground floor bedroom with easy access to the bathroom.

The property benefits from double glazing, a gas central heating system, and a wood-burning stove in the cosy sitting room. Additionally, 10 solar panels provide electricity, with surplus energy sold back to the grid.

The secluded gardens are a true delight, featuring a west-facing courtyard at the rear and a charming and secluded wildlife garden at the front, complete with a patio and oak-framed pergola. This property offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern amenities, making it an ideal home for those who appreciate the beauty of natural timber and the tranquillity of coastal living.
