This neat and tidy beach house has been a much-loved family getaway. It’s low-maintenance, ready to move into and easy to enjoy from day one.

On a good beach day, it’s an easy, flat walk to the river mouth. When the wind’s howling onshore, head to the river for a go on the rope swing or to cast a line. The bottom shops are just a few minutes away on foot, so you can park the car when you arrive and leave it there for days. That’s the beach holiday dream.

Inside, there are three good-sized bedrooms, two bathrooms and a light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that opens onto a sunny deck. The level, fully fenced block makes it an easy lock-and-leave getaway, and the grassy front garden is a lovely spot for the whole family to put their feet up after a day out in Aireys.
