Grays

Full Description

OVERVIEW

The original granite house was built around 1800, and in the 1970s a large three-storey extension was added on the beach side. This is the property now comprising “Grays”.
In 2006 planning permission was granted to provide a three-storey, two-bedroom two-bathroom apartment with its own direct beach access, together with a self-contained beachside studio apartment (copies of the approved plans are available from the agents). The work to implement the planning consent was commenced but never completed.

This represents a wonderful opportunity to complete the development, and create two bespoke apartments in this fabulous location.
Viewing highly recommended.
