Step into this beautiful home, where neutral décor and contemporary furnishings create a calming ambience throughout. Upon entry, a quiet second hallway to the left leads to two inviting bedrooms, one cosy twin and one spacious emperor, both enjoying pretty garden views. These rooms share a tastefully appointed bathroom, ensuring convenience for the guests. To the right, the heart of the home awaits: a stunning kitchen/dining area called ‘The Hive’. Featuring modern décor and a large solid oak table hand crafted from an ancient oak tree that once graced the estate. This area comfortably seats ten, making it perfect for family gatherings and morning planning sessions. A small restroom is conveniently located adjacent to the kitchen. Ascend the twisted oak staircase to discover three double bedrooms, each offering comfort, relaxation, and picturesque rural views. A wet room serves this upper level. The spacious and inviting living room called ‘The Loft’, with its vaulted ceiling, ample comfortable furniture, Bluetooth speakers and SmartTV, provides the perfect setting to unwind after a day of Island exploration. An additional bathroom is located off the living room.


Outside, the enchantment continues within secure and private grounds. There is more than enough space for children to play, explore, enjoy ball games or ride their bicycles, giving them hours of outdoor fun while the adults relax nearby. Enjoy captivating views of the sea, surrounding woodland and relax in the hot tub whilst overlooking Norris Castle’s walled garden. The bright “Sunroom” accessed from the patio is perfect for savouring your morning coffee. The patio provides an ideal backdrop for alfresco dining in the sunshine or at night with the wonderful effect of up lit palm trees. This beautiful modern home promises a serene and unforgettable retreat, seamlessly blending comfort, style, and natural beauty.
