The unique layout of this characterful and renovated property firstly sees guests enter via a shared hallway and stairwell, but once inside the first-floor apartment is entirely self-contained. On entering you will immediately find yourself in the fabulously spacious lounge/diner and will be drawn towards the two large windows offering panoramic views directly out over the estuary. Here keen birdwatchers can enjoy the wildlife from the comfort of indoors, and even a telescope has been thoughtfully provided by the owners. Every piece of furniture in this beautiful and characterful room has a story, and includes a large comfortable sofa, rocking chair, a Smart TV, and an original “sgraffito” fireplace. Add to this the clean-burn wood burner and it provides the perfect place to relax after a good walk or cycle ride. Head towards the rear of the apartment and accessed via a step up from the lounge area you will then discover the quirky yet beautifully presented kitchenette and bedroom area. Compact yet fully appointed, boasting a four-ring induction hob, combination microwave/oven, fridge with an ice compartment and even a dishwasher. Opposite this and offering a cosy place to retire to at the end of the day is the king-size bed. Completing the offering inside the apartment is a light and fresh bathroom with a shower over the bath and a WC, complete with estuary view.
Venturing outside the owners have thoughtfully provided guests with exclusive use of the pretty pebbled patio area directly outside the property and this can either be used as a delightfully sunny seating area for a morning coffee or as a parking space for one car. Guests can also enjoy access to a communal village waterside seating area and a public car park, both just a short stroll away.
