When we moved to the island 14 years ago, this property was the first and only property we viewed. Although it was not the type of property we thought we were looking for at the time, we were captivated by its charm and quirkiness and have never regretted buying our ‘special’ house.We love the way the house opens up into the garden like an extra room and faces the sun throughout the day. On a sunny day, even in winter, it is warm enough to sit in the porch with the door open and enjoy the fresh air.
