According to selling agents Lennox Estates, residents at this modern development enjoy exclusive access to seven acres of communal land.

There's a small forest and old-style gazebo, while along the approach to the terrace there are regular sightings of native wildlife, including the odd pheasant or deer . . . it certainly beats the sight of stressed-out fellow commuters.

Entrance to No 4 is through a gated and flagged courtyard and into a porch with stained-glass panels and terracotta tiled floor. The layout of ground-floor living areas is mostly open-plan, comprising a study, dining room and sitting room, all with sea views and hardwood floors. Welldesigned storage is a feature of the modern fitted kitchen. A fullyfitted utility room and guest cloakroom complete the rooms at ground floor.

Upstairs are three bedrooms (one en-suite) and main bathroom. From the master bedroom balcony, early birds can appreciate the sunrise over the sea. Night owls, on the other hand, can gaze at the moonlight on the water.
