Tesda - Forming a part of Binstead Hall, a stunning Victorian marine villa nestled within protected ancient woodland with grounds extending to the beach and situated in an exceptionally quiet and picturesque setting. There is a private garden to the rear as well as a path shared with the residents of Binstead Hall to the beach.
