Located in the prestigious Avenues area of this coastal town is this absolutely gorgeous two bedroomed first floor apartment with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside, a stunning private garden and a garage.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
This beautifully presented property has been a happy home for its current owners for the past 8 years. The property which once formed part of a large detached residence dates originally from the turn of the century and was converted into 7 flats in the 1960s.

The principal rooms enjoy views across open countryside and the rear private garden is unique and stunning. It is packed with mature plants and is about the size of a tennis court. It offers a secluded oasis of peace and tranquility in which to enjoy gardening and al fresco dining in the sunshine. We highly recommend a viewing to fully appreciate the wonderful lifestyle opportunity this property affords.
