To this far side of the property is also a two double bedroom, fully furnished and self-contained chalet. This has its own separate entrance from the lane and its own patio area.

There is parking for approx. 6 vehicles on the main sweeping driveway including a garage to the left of the house with a lawned garden bordering the righthand side that sets the house back further.

Leading up the stone steps to the front entry door, the upstairs balcony creates a large undercover porch.
On entry, to the right, is the galleried hallway with bespoke oak staircase. This ground floor comprises a bathroom and two double bedrooms, one of which is exceptionally large and overlooks both the front and side of the property. The opportunities that this ground floor offers are endless, ideal for those with less mobile or elderly relatives.

The living room has a number of focal points ,one of the most outstanding are its bifold doors that open onto a large wide balcony with views of the estuary. This runs the entire length of the house and in places is large enough for a six-seater dining table and chairs and Porch swing. Recently replaced at huge expense the floor is insulated and tiled with new glass and stainless balustrade throughout its length.This is one of the main architectural features of this house, together with its decorative stone walling. Additionally, its dual aspect Multi fuel stove adds a cosy aspect to this room on colder evenings providing a secondary heating system.
Up two steps to the dining room, where again the multi fuel burner is the focal point, uniting the rooms. Both rooms are neutrally decorated with oak style flooring, from here there are even more views of the estuary.
Double doors lead to the extensive newly fitted and modernised cream shaker kitchen with a metro tile splashback. A monochrome look and contemporary feel, cleverly designed with an island which comprises the induction hob and preparation workstation. A main feature of this room is its traditional style AGA Rayburn. The kitchen is well equipped with copious amounts of storage space.

Externally stepping from the kitchen is a long conservatory which leads out to the orchard on the left-hand side of the property.
The land with the property is split into three separate parcels of a quite different nature.
The Orchard has a variety of mature and unusual fruit trees and bushes, at Springtime primroses flood the area providing a colourful display. Wild Garlic and Mint also provide floor cover.

Directly behind the house is a patio area and stone walling which leads around the house and behind the chalet, currently a chicken run. Directly behind the kitchen door is a pathway and steps that lead up and through the terraced gardens, once at the middle level, there are further outbuildings and storage areas with electric. This is just another area of opportunity that could be developed further.
Moving up towards the coastal path route, the vast woodland sits within a conservation area ensuring integrity to this beautiful location. During the different seasons these changes provide all year-round interest and shelter to wildlife and fauna. The coastal path runs through the woodland with just a short walk leading directly to the beach. In springtime this provides a great photographic opportunity as it is overwhelmed with wild daffodil and bluebells.

One of the largest parcels of land has its own access and lane, at the top of the Solva hill, and is reached through double farm gates and has its own storage area. This is laid to pasture with more unusual fruit trees. The views from here are outstanding with the harbour and estuary clearly visible.
The extent of the land reaches to the top of the hill and as far as the children’s playground at the centre of the village in the other direction.
