The property's approximately 0.6 acres of grounds offer privacy and tranquility. Electric security gates lead to a cobbled driveway with parking for four cars. A well-maintained lawn, a sunny courtyard, and a terraced back garden with access to the water's edge create an idyllic setting.

The terraced rear also features a versatile space adaptable for various purposes, and steps lead down to a natural pool formed during low tide.
