Property description
This is one of the most exciting properties to see come to the market recently. \"Steppings\" is an individual home occupying an ELEVATED POSITION with its grounds extending down to the high water mark. This OUTSTANDING COASTAL position offers BREATHTAKING VIEWS across the bay. Located towards the end of a PRIVATE ROAD enhancing the privacy that our clients have enjoyed for many years. The accommodation is flexible with the option of a self contained ANNEXE if desired. As a whole there would be 5 BEDROOMS and a similar number of receptions each with a great SEA VIEW or an equally charming view of the GARDENS. Despite the privacy of this position you are only a short drive or longer walk to a number of good restaurants. This house offers potential for those with Grand Design ambitions.
