Description

Occupying an outstanding coastal position, Stronfax is a charming two-bedroom bungalow set within approximately 12.3 acres of land or thereby, including foreshore, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful island living with space, privacy and beautiful open views towards the sea.

The kitchen with dining area is well laid out and practical, with ample room for a dining table and chairs. Fitted with a range of base and wall units, worktop space and a large range-style cooker, the kitchen also incorporates appliance space and enjoys natural light from a window overlooking the surrounding countryside, making it an ideal space for everyday living.
