Approached up a long private lane and sweeping drive, this house sits on top of an outcrop of land, overlooking the sea and the surrounding completely unspoilt countryside.

It has lovely, mature gardens full of flowering shrubs and climbers, and a feature is the hill behind the house which has a pathway leading from the garden to the top, which can also be lit at night.

There is an excellent swimming pool (5 x 10 metres with a depth of 3 metres) and pool terrace with plenty of outside furniture and pool loungers. Outside shower and pool house, and a gate from the garden that accesses the path leading down to the beach below the house. This is a tidal beach some 120ft down the hillside which has good snorkelling but is suitable for experienced swimmers only. The bay is beautiful and normally completely deserted.

One of the best aspects of this property is that the pool is really close to the house - particularly nice for swimming at night! It is also extremely private and not overlooked at all.
