The marble hearth and surround are complemented by wooden flooring and elegant cornicing to the ceiling. French doors lead out to a decked area overlooking the sea.

The expansive open plan kitchen/dining room wraps around from the front of the house and onwards into the conservatory at the rear. The kitchen has a fine range of units at wall and floor level with complementary work surfaces. Appliances include a Rangemaster cooker surrounded by bespoke cabinetry, two sinks and a dishwasher.

The kitchen is served by a practical utility room with additional storage units, a built-in coffee maker, plumbing for a washing machine and space for an American-style fridge freezer.

Agents Note

Central heating and domestic hot water are primarily sourced from a community heating system, shared with neighbouring properties and utilising an ETA Hack 200 biomass boiler which, together with buffer storage tanks and a hot water storage tank, is located within the garage. The current owner of Fishery House, who resides in a neighbouring property, has indicated that he will be responsible for the cost of providing fuel and undertaking required maintenance in relation to this system. Legal arrangements should be confirmed with regard to the use of the community heating system. An individual oil-fired Worcester central heating boiler is available as a backup which, together with an unvented and insulated hot water storage cylinder fitted with an electric immersion heater, is located within the main dwellinghouse. The heating systems serve panel radiators located throughout most of the property, with underfloor heating in the kitchen/dining room. There is no fixed heating in the conservatory.
