Description from owner
Description
"Looney Dunes" is our own family holiday home - perfectly located right in the heart of the popular seaside resort of Camber Sands. Despite being just a moment's stroll from the famous 2-mile stretch of dune-lined sandy beach and its best bars and restaurants, the house enjoys peace and quiet even on the busiest of summer days. With a sunny south-facing back garden and views of the dunes from upstairs bedrooms, it really is a fabulous place to take a holiday.
Since we come on holiday here ourselves, the house is very well equipped. Pretty much everything you might need has been thought of. In addition to the usual facilities that you might expect to find, you'll be in for a treat with original artworks, a whole wall of books in the living room (over 1,000 at the last count), a vintage Bang & Olufsen hifi system, a heap of board games, XBox360 (plus games) and loads of children's DVDs and movies to keep them entertained whilst you're enjoying a drink in the back garden - a total suntrap - watching the butterflies or the sun setting. The house is centrally heated throughout and enjoys a reliable superfast broadband connection through BT Infinity 2 at around 60 Mbps.
Looney Dunes has 3 bedrooms which sleep 4 adults and 2 children - one master bedroom with a double bed, another main bedroom arranged either as two singles or joined together as a king-size double and a kids' bedroom with 2 bunk beds. We can also put a small double sofa bed into the living room should you require. The two south-facing bedrooms enjoy views of the back garden and you can see across to the dunes. In the spacious family bathroom (no bath) there is a 2-person shower cubicle with power shower, much the best way to clean away all the fine sand that you bring back from the long day at the beach!
There is plenty of room downstairs too. The living room with French doors that open out onto the patio; a conservatory with dining table and chairs; a fully-equipped galley kitchen with separate larder; a downstairs WC and porch area for storage.
The gardens must be our favourite part of this property. The south-facing back garden is the proverbial stone's throw from the sand dunes. In it you'll find a patio with table, parasol and chairs and a flat lawn surrounded by shrubs and flowers on three sides (and populated by many species of butterfly throughout the long summer days). There is also a shed filled with garden chairs, games, buckets and spades, a windbreak for the beach, and a BBQ. The garden is fenced all around and is fully enclosed. A high privet hedge in the front garden provides privacy from the cul-de-sac (so no passing traffic) and creates a natural goal for any penalty shoot out! This garden is also very sunny and provides off-street parking for 2 cars (3 at a pinch).
Here are the main details about the property:
Enclosed entrance porch - for all your coats, shoes, wellies, buckets and spades...
Hallway - with 3 under stairs cupboards; one converted into an "honesty" larder with freezer and microwave; one containing an iron, ironing board, clothes horse, Miele vacuum cleaner; and one crammed full of kid's toys, masses of Lego, etc...
Downstairs WC
Living Room - 3-seater sofa; armchair (or small sofa bed on request); rocking chair; original artworks; floor-to-ceiling bookshelves along the entire length of one wall with over 1,000 books; Xbox 360 with games; loads of adult and kids' DVDs; board games; 1970's B&O hifi system (turntable/tuner/tape deck) with smartphone connections that allow you to play your own music through our vintage floorstanding speakers; French doors that open out fully onto the patio area of the back garden...
Galley Kitchen - fridge, electric cooker with hob, grill and oven, extractor fan, washer-dryer, plenty of cupboards, toaster, kettle, Nespresso coffee machine, milk frother, plenty of crockery, cutlery, glassware and cookware, plus food basics (herbs, spices, condiments, etc)...
Door to:
Conservatory - with dining table and chairs, highchair (on request), blinds, door to back garden...
Back Garden - south-facing and a real sun trap, with views of the tops of the sand dunes, totally enclosed, secure, safe, an oasis of peace and quiet even on the busiest of summer days; outdoor table and chairs for alfresco dining; barbecue; sun-loungers to help top up the tan; a shed full of beach paraphernalia like boules, buckets and spades, etc; and an outside tap too...
