Wellington Quay, Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne, East Sussex

Wellington Quay is set on the waters' edge of a marina within the popular Sovereign Harbour area of Eastbourne. The bars, restaurants, shops and cinema of the Waterfront area are just a few minutes stroll away and yet you'll feel completely removed from the hustle and bustle of life as you gaze at the boats in complete tranquility.

This six-bedroom detached house has an enclosed rear garden with private jetty (if you fancy bringing your own boat) and a large decked area with outdoor dining set and sun loungers from which to enjoy the superb views.

There are water views from three of the upstairs bedrooms, plus the conservatory, dining room and lounge - which all have patio doors opening on to that delightful decked terrace.

Inside you have bags of space to socialise or escape, depending on your mood. The huge dining kitchen offers convivial space, seating up to 12. If adults fancy breaking off to eat without the children, there is a separate dining room which can seat eight.

The spacious lounge has plenty of comfy seating and a TV, plus DVD, but the real focal point is the huge fireplace with flame-effect fire for cosy evenings.

Needing some quiet? There is a study, ideal if you need to break off to catch up on emails, or the conservatory is ideal for a peaceful read.

Upstairs, the two largest bedrooms are en suite and have super kingsize beds, which can be split into twins if preferred. There is also a kingsize and two twin bedrooms upstairs, plus a family bathroom with bath and shower over. The sixth bedroom is a twin on the ground floor, and there is a toilet opposite this.

Eastbourne is just five miles away - a pleasant stroll along the seafront or a quick drive. The town offers four theatres, the iconic bandstand concerts, plus a wealth of eateries and bars/clubs.

WiFi is provided, plus towels and linen. Minimum age of lead guest is 35+. Smoking is not permitted. This property does not permit parties or all male/female groups. Noise must be kept low (especially between 8pm and 9am) as this is a quiet residential area. Please respect a strict 11pm curfew when using the outside space.
