Description
Church Bay Farm c.1901: This extraordinary property is set on a spectacular 8.9 acre stretch of sandy beachfront with colourful gardens, swaths of open level lawns and approx. 1000 ft. of low bank shoreline. Evoking the romance of yesteryear, the land offers the promise of reconnecting with nature while maintaining a connection to modern times. The classically elegant residence has an abundance of updates that were performed by a team with an intuitive sense of not only what looks good, but what works well. The home and property retains a tangible grandeur with a nod to history. A delightful private guesthouse sits a polite distance away from the main residence to welcome family & friends. An array of farm friendly outbuildings include an outdoor kitchen with canning or catering essentials, workshop, chicken house, sheep shed, greenhouse, drive shed, pond and pastures. Across the lane, a historic chapel sits on a heavenly swath of its own walk on shoreline. A rare coastal legacy.
