- The house sleeps 8 in 4 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms (2 ensuite)
A little bit of detail:
Driftwood Corner has a distinctive and laid-back beach style. Its original features have been lovingly restored and enhanced with bespoke new details created from locally sourced, reclaimed materials, as well as carefully chosen vintage furniture pieces.
DOWNSTAIRS:
The sitting room has two areas, separated by an original, oak beamed archway. One area has plenty of comfy seating, set around the inglenook fireplace, complete with log burner. It’s a light and airy room during the day, with two sets of French doors, giving access to the patio and verandah. In the evenings and during the winter it’s a warm, sociable space where everyone can sit together. The second area is the family room/snug, with a 50″ screen smart TV, family board games, a full size, vintage pinball machine and some vintage Beanos that were found in the house during renovation!
The open plan kitchen/dining room can be accessed directly from the lounge or the hallway. There’s a breakfast bar, as well as a large dining table with corner bench, vintage stools and whitewashed brick walls. Driftwood from the local beaches has been transformed into unique light fittings and feature walls. The kitchen is equipped with a double range cooker, fridge freezer, microwave, dishwasher and washer/dryer.
The outside space is accessed by french doors in the sitting room. On one side is the beautifully restored verandah with hanging chair. On the other, is the south facing patio with repurposed cable drum tables, a charcoal bbq and pergola complete with fairy lights! The enclosed, secure garden is a great space for the kids to play or to entertain the dog.
UPSTAIRS:
The master bedroom has a superking bed and ensuite shower room. There is also the option to work from home here, with a desk and chair. Bedroom 2 has a kingsize bed with ensuite shower room. Bedroom 3 & 4 both have twin beds and there is also a family bathroom.
