This beautiful architect-designed home is a flat 300 metres walk from the village's shops and restaurants. Located on one of the best streets on the Island, it looks out over the bay and is less than 500 metres from the boat ramp, which leads down to designated car and trailer parks on the beach.

Surrounded by an easy-care, fully landscaped mature garden, the house itself is utterly delightful. Living is upstairs and makes the most of those sea views. With wonderful wooden floors, a gorgeous wooden staircase, air conditioning and a superb, fitted kitchen that opens onto decks at the front and back. There's a gas fireplace in the open plan living, as well as a lovely window seat that takes in the view.

Downstairs, you find the master bedroom with an ensuite, two more generous bedrooms, and an excellent family bathroom. All bathrooms, including the powder room upstairs, have cosy underfloor heating. There's even a luxury sauna with, not surprisingly, a view to the sea. A house this close to the beach has to have an outdoor shower. And it does.

Set back from the road is a large lock-up garage (consented to increase in size to a tandem double garage) and plenty of space for the boat.

If you're looking for a first-rate lock-up-and-leave holiday home, a dream home to retire to, an exceptional executive home, a premium holiday rental property, or to move out of the city for a change of lifestyle, you don't need to look any further than this.

Auction on site, 12:00pm, Saturday 1 November (unless sold prior).
