There is a clear, uninterrupted sea view from the lounge, kitchen area and from a small front deck that is accessed by double patio doors. The front deck has the sun most of the day and is just right for watching the world go by. In the winter it is wonderful to have a morning cuppa in the lounge while watching the sun move across the sky. There is a much larger deck to the side, also with a sea view with tables and four chairs for al fresco dining. From here you can see the sun rise - perfect for a sunny breakfast and lunch, with shade when required. Brand new in May 2021 and in beautiful condition, the property comes with large fridge and small freezer, microwave, toaster and gas oven and hob. There is lots of shelves and cupboard space in the kitchen area. The lounge has a flat screen tv and DVD player and electric fire for cosy winter evenings and a small dining area with a table and chairs for four. There is great Wi-Fi throughout the caravan and plug sockets in every convenient place. There is a large double bedroom with a wall of cupboards as well as a chest of drawers and bed side tables. There is space in this room for a large cot. Along the corridor is a small twin room with two single beds and a storage cupboard There is a bathroom with a good size shower, toilet, sink and two wall cupboards. The property has its own dedicated parking space. 'The Retreat' was bought because of a love of the sea, Mudeford and watching the sun rise.
