What the owner says:  We moved here some 30 years ago as the location and the accommodation provided us with everything we wanted and where we were able to run a successful Montessori school for 20 years. Since then we have enjoyed refurbishing the house as a large family home. We love the peace and quiet in our tranquil garden and enjoy sitting in our ‘viewing room’ just watching the ever-changing sea views.We can walk along the clifftop and down to the beaches or stroll into the town centre in a few minutes.
