Its bright open-plan living space combines living, dining, and kitchen areas to create a sociable, relaxing layout ideal for couples or solo travellers. Upstairs, the double bedroom features a charming vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and a Juliet balcony that lets in soft coastal breezes. A modern en-suite shower room adds to the comfort, while gas central heating and double glazing ensure the property stays snug throughout the year.
