St Stephens offers the perfect home for a family, a sanctuary for retirement, or a seaside escape, with up-to-date, flexible-use accommodation arranged over two floors. On the ground floor, a reception room enjoys the warming ambience of a charming fireplace and the mellow tones of rustic wooden beams and doors, along with ample space for dining, creating a comfortable and sociable setting. The bright and spacious kitchen/breakfast room just beyond is fitted with modern wall and base level cabinetry with a breakfast bar unit and an area for informal dining which benefits from views and a route out to the rear garden via glazed sliding doors. There are two bedrooms and a smart shower room at this lower level.

On the floor above, a light-filled sitting room has the advantage of an elevated outlook to the shoreline, with glazed doors opening onto a balcony which offers the ideal spot to relax in the sunshine. The upper level also provides two bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom, along with a large utility room which might easily serve as a second kitchen. The versatility of the internal layout, along with two separate entrance doorways, affords the option to provide self-contained accommodation on both the ground and first floors.
