IntroductionSet in an idyllic location, this detached waterside dwelling is a striking example of sympathetic modern design. Immaculately appointed both internally and externally, this unique and ready to move in home has the most delightful and captivating views over the Percuil River and the surrounding National Trust owned countryside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  Situated literally a stone’s throw from the waters’ edge where beautiful riverside walks are abundant, this is a perfect retreat especially for the water-sport or sailing enthusiasts and keen wild water swimmers.  Freshwater is within a leisurely walk of local shops, beaches, café’s, restaurants and pubs, yet is quietly tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the central village. Equally suited as a permanent home or holiday coastal retreat, Freshwater represents a very rare opportunity.
Contemporary Waterside LivingUpon parking on the newly built block paved drive, you sense the charm and atmosphere of the private front garden which is bordered by a wall and a decorative stylish composite fence. Landscaped in a Mediterranean theme, the garden is purposely designed for all day sun and maximum relaxation. Ambient external lighting adds a magnificent dimension at sunset.
The covered front door is recessed and upon entering the Entrance Hall and Cloakroom the interior promptly sets the tone for a stylish décor throughout. The modern fitted Kitchen / Breakfast Room benefits from a rooflight and is accessed via a cleverly designed double glass door which partly opens and folds to sit in its recess. An aesthetically pleasing feature, it optimises the feeling of space and effortless transition from the Entrance Hall. The kitchen leads to an Inner Hall with French doors that opens out on to a stylishly raised landscaped Sun Terrace, perfect for dining alfresco and enjoying the tranquil river and countryside views. A purpose-built side gate links the back- and front garden and offers a beneficial wind shield to the sitting area in the front garden. The Living Room features a large picture frame window with magnificent river views and a retro-style wood-burner. Off the Inner Hall is a bathroom and a cozy double bedroom with delightful river views.
On the opposite side of the main Entrance Hall is a Reception Room/third bedroom which has a purpose-built wall unit with cupboards and shelves, one of which conceals a swivel wall-mounted Smart TV. A creatively inspired lockable pocket door hides the access up a couple of easy steps to a spacious,  En-Suite Bedroom, which has its own separate self-contained access door and windows to the front garden and driveway. Both of these newly built rooms benefit from high ceilings and underfloor heating. This part of the property has historically and successfully been holiday let through Airbnb.
