The kitchen/living room extends to some 28 ft and is filled with light from three sides. Underfloor heating runs beneath the flagged floor, while a stable door opens southwards onto the garden. At one end, a gas-fired stove sits within the stepped recess of the exposed brick chimney breast, framed by an oak mantel. At the other end, a well-equipped, handmade kitchen is fitted with granite worktops and a pantry cupboard, and is centred around a large island with integrated appliances, including a wine fridge and a sink with Quooker tap.

A separate laundry room on the first floor has an external door to the rear terrace, while the adjoining dining room provides a distinct space for more formal dining.

The sitting room is light-filled, beautifully proportioned with half-panelled walls. A traditional fireplace housing a wood-burning stove is flanked by built-in shelving and cupboards.

The four double bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors, all with large windows enjoying south-facing light. The first-floor landing provides access to a useful linen cupboard housing the boiler and a separate storage cupboard. Bedroom 1 is double aspect and has an en suite shower room concealed behind cupboard doors. A further bedroom, with built-in wardrobes, is served by the adjacent bathroom with freestanding bath.

Two further bedrooms are situated on the second floor, both rising into the roof space and enjoying three-way light from dormer windows. One benefits from extensive eaves storage along one wall. They are served by a house bathroom including a four-piece suite and heated towel rail.

Outside

The extensive hillside gardens border King’s Beck and mixed woodland on three sides, creating a notably private setting. The gardens have been arranged with entertaining in mind. Immediately in front of the house is a lower decked BBQ terrace, sheltered by an arbour and mature trees and shrubs, including a clipped bay tree and a collection of planters.

The principal paved terrace adjoins the house and takes full advantage of the south and west-facing aspect. Above, a further arbour shelters a hot tub terrace, while a further decked terrace occupies the upper part of the garden, accessed by a stepping-stone path cut into the hillside and timber steps. Sheltered from the sea winds and facing south, the gardens benefit from a favourable micro-climate, with a number of productive fruit trees such as apple, pear, plum and damson. Two large garden sheds and a wood store sit along the edge of the lawn, forming a natural boundary between the cultivated garden and the woodland beyond. An area of mixed deciduous woodland completes the garden.
