From this floor you can once again enjoy fine views over the surrounding dune area. The second floor also houses the laundry connections, the central heating system and useful knee wall storage spaces that help keep the living areas tidy and uncluttered.
The property benefits from an energy label A rating, reflecting its excellent energy efficiency. Insulation measures include roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation and floor insulation, ensuring that the home is warm in winter and cool in summer while keeping energy bills manageable.
