THE ANNEXE

Unlike a lot of properties, Belvedere offers a unique opportunity for either multi-generational families or someone who is looking for income potential. To the back of the plot there is a large annexe which has currently been split into two self-contained apartments ("The Apartment" and "The Studio") and an additional storeroom/workshop (which could easily be converted into a garage if required). Both apartments have an open plan kitchen/living area, double bedroom, and shower room. With its location being within close proximity to both the beach and the forest, this would be a popular location for holiday rentals providing an owner with a stream of income. Alternatively for multi-generational families this home has been perfectly set up for either older relatives or young adults to have their own space whilst still being linked to the family home.
