The kitchen offers an Aga and space for a table and chairs although there is a formal dining room adjacent which also looks out to the coastline. The study is a useful addition to the ground floor for those looking for a home office, and there is a cloakroom set off the hall.

The master bedroom offers a sizeable en-suite bathroom and all four bedrooms have a sea view with bedroom three offering a balcony accessed via twin doors offering a crow’s nest view across Sole Bay.
