DESCRIPTION

5 Ivy Terrace is an attractive end terraced property likely constructed of stone, with rendered elevations beneath a slate roof. The property has been comprehensively refurbished during the present owners tenure since 2011, and now provides spacious and adaptable accommodation arranged over two floors. It has been used as a second home and short term holiday let, and presently qualifies for Business Rates. The principal reception room has a woodburnrer, two lovely bay windows overlooking the beach, and plenty of space for dining table and chairs, as well as comfy sofas. At the rear is a well fitted kitchen with range cooker and integrated dishwasher, and plenty of floor and wall cupboards providing useful storage. Off the kitchen is a recently fitted shower room and a back door providing access to steps which lead up to the rear garden. At first floor level there are four double or twin bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are interconnecting, and one is often used as a second sitting room. This and the main bedroom overlook the beach, the latter having French doors to a balcony.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached from the road up several steps to a tile flagged seating and dining area in front of the building overlooking the view. This area faces north east and enjoys the morning sun. To the rear of the house, and accessed via a flight of stone steps is the garden, which is above the first floor of the building and as such has views across the rooftops to the estuary and mountains beyond. There is a useful timber garden shed, and the garden itself has some dense bushes and enjoys privacy from the hedge and wall delineating the boundaries.
