The namesake of captain Thomas May, May House is a beautifully styled two-bedroom mid-C19 house set in an elevated position above the harbour on Dolphin Street. The open plan living/dining room is flooded with natural light, featuring slate flagstone flooring and a welcoming log burner. Seamlessly flowing into a newly fitted kitchen with a breakfast bar and AGA, it offers direct access to the patio terrace – perfect for morning coffees or entertaining family and friends. An adjacent cook’s pantry completes the ground floor and a picture window on the turned-wood staircase frames the views across the harbour. Upstairs, the principal bedroom exudes luxury with a copper slipper bath, an en-suite bathroom and sweeping sea and harbour views, while the second en-suite bedroom also enjoys water views. Currently a popular holiday let, May House would equally suit as a full-time home.
