Secondly, what makes Byfields so special? Byfields is a brand-new holiday let that offers an outstanding location. Recently renovated, the imposing six-bedroom home commands quite the presence on the town’s smartest street. It is a leisurely 200m stroll to the beachfront, but the rear of the house packs the biggest punch – a terrace, garden and vista that is likely to be unmatched. The landscaped garden is broad and long – and one can imagine everything from garden parties and marques to games of croquet and touch football – The manicured garden and cabana (with Wi-Fi) present lots of lovely nooks to enjoy a cocktail, sit and read, do some work, or enjoy the peaceful million-dollar view over the golf course and horizon. All of which can be enjoyed from the full-length terrace that runs the width of the house and can be accessed from both the kitchen and the family room/snug. The terrace (elevated above the garden) has ample seating for comfortable ‘lounging’ and alfresco dining, aided by a top-of-the-range Weber Gas BBQ - which means the incredible vista can be enjoyed all day long. And for the kids, there is a giant trampoline, garden fort, slide and swings and numerous outdoor garden games for endless outdoor fun. There is also a basket ball hoop to the front of the property. And inside...? When you enter Byfields, you are immediately aware of the spaciousness and grandeur of this old home (but with lots of modern touches). The entrance hall is light and bright and provides access to all the downstairs rooms: The formal living room – new, comfortable lounges/chairs surround a gas log burning fire, and in the bay window overlooking the garden is an old partner's desk - for those that need or want to work or just a peaceful spot to catch up on some admin. The snug is the heart of the home – a luxe velvet L-Shaped lounge, SMART tv and gas log fire mean this is the optimal place to snuggle up with friends and family for movie nights – with French doors opening out to the terrace and extraordinary garden vista. The snug is also home to many games, puzzles, and books for guest enjoyment.

A second ‘pantry’ fridge further supplements this for overflow or drinks, and a dedicated temperature controlled 80 bottle wine fridge for those that take this kind of thing seriously! The adjacent pantry/laundry houses an abundance of brand-new appliances, from a Kitchen Aid and Nutri-bullet to top-of-the-range Samsung washing machines and dryer. The Double Garage – houses an electricity port for charging electric/hybrid cars and is currently home to a state-of-the-art ping pong table, darts, and everything a family might need for a day at the beach – from paddle boards/ surf-boogie boards to deckchairs, windbreaks, and icebox, and garden games.

Four of the six bedrooms have Super King beds and double sofa beds; one has two sets of bunks, including an additional two trundle beds, and the last bedroom has two single beds, which have been designed to attach to create a fifth super king bed if required.
