Description & Features
The Owners Perspective...
"This house is a fantastic family home, in the most welcoming of communities we have ever lived. The neighbours, the beach and the golf club are some of the great things about living in Helen’s Bay. Our home is made for entertaining inside and out. It is so practical, with tonnes of storage, an enormous basement and garage, perfect for family life.
It is set in the most stunning location, the private lane provides seclusion yet only a stones throw away from the beach. We cannot take credit for the amazing mature garden that surrounds the property. The previous owner dedicated many years to its creation and and we are reaping the rewards of their hard work. The garden changes with the seasons and truly is a masterpiece. When not admiring the garden there are sea views from almost every window.
We have been fortunate to secure full planning permission for an additional property in the side garden. This will be a great opportunity for the new owners should they decide to build for extended family, generate an income from a rental or maintain the site as a garden. This home and garden are unique, and provide many options for the next family to grow and enjoy".
