Sarah-Jane Bingham-Chick, an agent with Savills, said: ‘Although this has been the main home for the current owners for over 20 years, they describe it as their holiday home because they always feel like they are on holiday.
‘It is such an iconic house locally and to be able to say you own that would be amazing.
‘You can’t put a price on the views – they’re worth they’re weight in gold – and we’ve already been taking interest.
‘Inside it has been well-loved and probably needs a bit of updating but even so it’s one we’d expect to appeal to a wide range of people.’
