About this property

This three-floored, semi-detached property sits peacefully on the remote Roa Island, the southern-most tip of Cumbria.

Be greeted into the property by its surprisingly contemporary interior; the sitting room with its stylish flooring, seating and woodburning stove is a fabulous spot to kick back and reflect on the day's activities. Head into the spacious kitchen/diner to prepare and enjoy each mealtime, it is fully equipped and boasts a lavish, modern overtone, adding a touch of class. This home-away-from-home is set over three floors, the first and second floors are where you will find the three bedrooms decorated in a stunning fashion. A luscious family shower room also sits on the first floor. The second floor is occupied by the master bedroom, benefiting from another beautiful shower room en-suite as well as enjoying views towards the nearby channel. The garden to the back of the house is a heavenly spot to enjoy a drink or two, with the lapping waves at the bottom of the garden to top it off. Despite the island being just 30 acres of land, it offers a friendly café, a stunning watch tower and the Roa Island Boating Club.
