The property enjoys a high degree of privacy with high boundary hedges of flowering shrubs, trees and fencing, encircling the property on all sides. Many houses in the road have kept front boundaries at a lower level to allow sea views from the ground floor and this could be achieved very easily at Mowbray, if required. There is a large asphalted parking and turning area in front and to the side of the house allowing room for numerous vehicles and a detached double garage at the end of the driveway. The remainder of the gardens comprise well kept lawns with paved sun terraces to the rear and side, one of which houses a large koi pond and adjacent feeder pond with waterfall feature.

The property occupies arguably one of the best positions on the road, opposite is a large open ‘green’ ideal for walking and recreation. There is easy access from here to the coastal footpath and no buildings on the other side of the road means the lovely sea and coastal views remain uninterrupted.

Many of the properties in this road have undergone complete redevelopment and Mowbray may well be considered a perfect candidate for a complete redevelopment, subject to any necessary planning consents.
