Underfloor heating has been installed throughout the entire ground floor below engineered oak floorboards and there is underfloor heating in all of the bathrooms. In 2022, the Neptune kitchen was fitted along with a collection of Neptune cabinetry in the dining and utility areas. The bathrooms all have high quality fittings.

A traditional panelled and glazed front door opens to the entrance hall with its oak flooring in herringbone design that extends throughout the free-flowing ground floor space. Natural light enters the house through the bay window, multiple floor-to-ceiling windows and glazed doors. The Neptune kitchen includes a freestanding island unit and breakfast bar, larder, integrated appliances, a gas and induction hob and a separate utility/laundry area with full height units that include a cloaks cupboard.

At the western end of the house is a sitting room of lovely proportions with glorious views over the landscaped rear garden and access to the side garden via a galvanized steel outdoor staircase. Above the sitting room extension is a reinforced flat roof that would make a substantial roof terrace with sea views, subject to planning.

It has an impressive en suite bathroom that includes a vanity unit with basin, a freestanding bath with freestanding bath/shower mixer tap and a heated towel rail.

The all-season studio/annexe in the garden offers ancillary accommodation to the main house. A stable door opens to a small hallway which leads to a bedroom with Neptune timber cladding on the walls, column radiators and views over Mulgrave Woods. Alongside is an en suite bathroom with underfloor heating giving outstanding views of the coastline. The whole has high ceilings, plenty of natural light and is fully insulated.

Outside - The house is situated on a no-through road that rises gently from the coastal road, and is set back behind a pretty front garden and gravelled forecourt that provides a single parking space. H-bar carriageway markings in front of the property provide two additional allocated parking spaces. The landscaped gardens wrap around three sides of the house and have been designed by an RHS Silver Medallist in the Young Garden Designer of the Year category. They give year-round colour and structure with paved terraces and decking, raised beds, gravel pathways, topiarized shrubs, herbaceous borders, ornamental trees and grasses. There is a pergola and secure shed on the northern boundary as well as external lighting and three external sockets.

At the far end of the rear garden is a detached studio/annexe. Beyond lies a small fenced area belonging to 16 Meadowfields with a right of way that connects neighbouring gardens.
