In addition, the garden has been professionally designed to be aesthetically appealling, with plenty of room to entertain, but also low maintenance if a second or occasional home.

The entrance hallway is flanked by the sitting room, also oak floored, the full width of the house and with bi-folding doors to the garden, and the kitchen with underfloor electric heating. The contemporary kitchen suite, fitted in 2022, incorporates NEFF and AEG integrated appliances, with double ovens, induction hob and dining island. The fully fitted office suite, caters for all your needs whilst working from home or would also be an ideal play room, connecting to the gardens with bi-folding doors.

At first floor level, the wide and vaulted landing, accesses the three double bedrooms and well-appointed family bathroom, with shower over bath.

Electric gates allow entry to Waters Edge, with a private lane leading to the properties, over which there are attractive views. This property has an extensive non-slip brick cobbled driveway and turning sweep, together with a detached double garage, allowing ample space for vehicles to park with ease, flanked by wide formal lawns. Portuguese laurel planting gives mature and private hedging.

The principal southerly facing gardens, with their marina views, are low-maintenance and have been professionally designed and landscaped, as a two-level garden. A wide non-slip terrace spans the length of the house to its rear, whilst artificial grass lawns, with colourful retained flowering and shrub borders and beds are interspersed through the garden, with paths leading to a Vanguard hot-tub and further seating terraces, one with a large sheltered pergola, and all with the smartphone controlled lighting system.
