The character of the historic fisherman cottage had been retained during the expansion to a sizable double storey home. History is tangible in the thick stone walls and the interior wood finishes. Oregon pine recovered from ship wrecks was used for roof trusses. It was recycled into the kitchen cupboards. The teak cladding in the lounge adds to the warm, welcoming atmosphere around the fireplace.
The house offers three en-suite bedrooms on each floor. Four entrances enable varied uses of the different areas.
A separate entrance and external staircase provide independent access to a living unit that can be used as a two- or three bedroom flat or guesthouse. The living area opens to a balcony for outdoor relaxation. The present owners have rented it out on Airbnb for many years.

The character of the historic fisherman cottage had been retained during the expansion to a sizable double storey home. History is tangible in the thick stone walls and the interior wood finishes. Oregon pine recovered from ship wrecks was used for roof trusses. It was recycled into the kitchen cupboards. The teak cladding in the lounge adds to the warm, welcoming atmosphere around the fireplace.
The house offers three en-suite bedrooms on each floor. Four entrances enable varied uses of the different areas.
A separate entrance and external staircase provide independent access to a living unit that can be used as a two- or three bedroom flat or guesthouse. The living area opens to a balcony for outdoor relaxation. The present owners have rented it out on Airbnb for many years.
A side entrance leads to a flatlet on the western side and a studio that can serve as a free-standing flat in the north-western corner of the garden.
The main bedroom on the ground floor of the main house and the studio on the first floor face north and provide enchanting views of the garden and mountain.
The studio at the top of the stairs was designed for an artist. With ample light and a 180 degree view, it provides a space for creativity and contemplation. The studio shares a bathroom with the adjacent bedroom and can be used as a two bedroom family unit.
The tree-filled garden is a sanctuary during the busy holiday season.
Schools, the cliff path, the old harbour and the business district are all within easy walking distance along the peaceful streets of this leafy neighbourhood.
The structure and spaces have been defined. Some attention is needed to unlock the full potential in the hospitality industry or for multi-family ownership. The current registration in a company will help in this regard.
