The adjoining contemporary kitchen is exceptionally well equipped, featuring a large central island, ovens, gas hob, and fridge freezer. (Please note the beautiful Esse range cooker is a decorative feature only.)
Just beyond, you’ll find a utility area with washer-dryer, and a beautifully designed shower room with a walk-in shower – ideal for washing away sandy toes after a day at the beach.
The drawing room is an elegant and inviting space, with plush sofas, armchairs, a smart TV, and a stunning bay window that draws your eye to the garden and ocean beyond. French doors open directly onto the private lawn, blending indoor elegance with outdoor serenity.
🛌 Upstairs – Dreamy Bedrooms with Sea Breezes. Seawood boasts four restful and flexible bedrooms:

🌿 The Garden – A Private Coastal Haven
