'Summerset' is an architect designed home occupying a sumptuous plot of 0.399 acres with the most spectacular seascape backdrop.Built in 1976, the property was ahead of its time in both build and design. Thoughtfully designed to follow the naturally-sloping topography of the coastline, it's safe to say you will not find another home quite like it.In addition to the main residence, the property offers excellent ancillary accommodation with a one bedroom self contained flat at lower ground level and self contained guest accommodation.

There are three double bedrooms with the Master Bedroom featuring an en-suite. The lounge/diner enjoys fabulous views via the sun room and conservatory which then opens to a large balcony; the perfect vantage point to watch the sun do down over the water. A sleek contemporary kitchen boasts a large central island and integrated appliances whilst a breakfast room, utility room, shower room and family bathroom conclude this unique property.A beautiful 151' (46.14m) garden is sectioned into various areas to maximise the views of the sea. A huge sundeck sprawls across the rear with a hot tub and swimming pool, an amazing spot to enjoy a glass of something nice whilst gazing out to sea.
