Description Cuzco is a Victorian property that was built in 1900 by a Captain Ridler and named after his favourite ship. The current vendors have carried out a substantial amount of refurbishment and improvement, and the result is a welcoming family home which is very well-presented throughout but still retaining the charm and character of the original property. The new kitchen, complete with an Aga, granite worktops, karndean flooring and views over the garden, forms the focal point of daily life and sits adjacent to the dining room. There are two further reception rooms, being the double aspect sitting room on the east side of the entrance hall and the study/office on the western side. There is a charming sunroom at the eastern end of the dining room, and the utility room adjacent to the back door at the western end of the kitchen completes the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs there are five bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an independent WC at the western end of the property. The high ceilings and large windows create a very light property, typical of homes from this era. With the picture rails and ceiling roses, Captain Ridler’s design is still very much in evidence, but the recent renovation ensures that Cuzco is a charming and very appealing property. Contemporary Annexe The large brick studio/annexe sits at the northern end of the garden and in the centre of the building is a good sized kitchenette, with a large open reception area at the eastern end. At the western end is a very well equipped workshop and paint store with good storage above. To the south, there is a large paved area for entertaining or Al Fresco dining. This studio building would be suitable for a host of uses and there is also a garden store that houses the gardening machinery in the north-eastern corner of the rear garden. Gardens and Grounds The gardens are another feature of the property being very private and neatly managed. There is a decking area to take full advantage of the sea views adjacent to the back door to the house and there is a fishpond.
