Read the full agent description

Occupying a generous plot in an elevated position within one of the town's most sought-after locations, Yemhinny is an exceptional detached family home enjoying breathtaking panoramic views across the town, harbour, and out towards the Bristol Channel. Beautifully presented throughout, this naturally light-filled property offers well-balanced and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, making it perfectly suited to modern family living.

The ground floor is centred around an impressive living room featuring a striking vaulted ceiling, creating a wonderful sense of space and character. In addition, there is a cosy snug, a well-appointed kitchen, and a useful workroom. Formerly the property's kitchen, this versatile space could, subject to any necessary consents and alterations, be easily adapted to provide a fourth bedroom if required. Completing the ground floor is a chic and stylish three-piece family bathroom. The kitchen provides direct access to a sea-facing balcony, the perfect spot to relax and take in the stunning coastal outlook.

The first floor comprises two generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys superb sea views and benefits from a bathroom en-suite, while the second bedroom is an excellent size and features a large built-in wardrobe. Both rooms also benefit from extensive eaves storage.

On the lower ground floor, there is a further double bedroom with a cloak room, together with a utility area and two highly practical storage rooms. These spaces are ideal for storing surfboards, bicycles, outdoor equipment, or gardening tools, making the property particularly appealing to those who enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle.

Externally, Yemhinny sits within a substantial plot with gardens that wrap around the property. The rear garden is attractively tiered, while the front enjoys predominantly level grounds. The gardens are a true haven, boasting an abundance of mature trees, flowering plants, shrubs, and verdant vegetation, creating a wonderfully private and tranquil setting. Numerous seating areas have been thoughtfully positioned throughout the grounds to make the most of the sunny aspect and spectacular views. Ample off-road parking further enhances the property's appeal.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a superb family home in an enviable position, combining generous living accommodation, stunning coastal views, and beautiful gardens. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this exceptional property has to offer.
