External

The extensive tiered garden grounds are defined by concrete block walls, timber fencing and the shingle beach along the shoreline. Access from the public road is via a curved driveway with mature trees, bushes, snowdrops and crocuses to the sides. At the bottom is a parking area with a semi-gravelled/grassed drive leading around the dwellinghouse. Ample off-road parking.

A dominant feature throughout the property are the balustrades and urns defining tiered areas within the garden. One area provides for a private divide from the neighbouring property with its mature trees and bushes. There is a patio area at the front providing for alfresco dining throughout the summer months whilst enjoying the stunning sunsets and views to the west.

The various outbuildings would require extensive work to bring them back up to usable spaces. One contains the oil tank with another having a separate space that was the former front of house for a second-hand antiques business (5.16m x 3.43m) that also has power. Near this shed is an iron gate leading to the entrance to the derelict greenhouse. Only some outbuildings can be opened.

From the tiered areas to the front of the Property, there is access to the shingle foreshore, Boat House and derelict pier (which would require an extensive upgrade), together with a concrete plinth with flagpole.
