The estate agent said the apartment would suit a family as the shallow harbour is a safe place for children to paddle. 

He also highlighted the unique features of the property, including the private boat store which has direct access to the water. 

Mr Dunford said: ‘It is an unusual apartment, the builder was David Wyatt, whose done some really fabulous buildings and the block of apartments they built just before this one was the highest amount paid per square foot and this was a similar style.

‘It’s all about the location and with apartments like this the best is either the penthouse or the ground floor. Because this is ground floor it comes with a decent sized garden and the boat store.

‘This is a large apartment at 3,700sq ft and comes with a large boat store big enough for a full size RIB.

‘That section of the water is very shallow. You can walk out 800 metres and still only be waist-deep so it’s great for children.

‘The Sea Legs boat has wheels that pop down so even if the tide is out you can trundle down with your boat and then lift the wheels in.

‘The property is front line, you can come out to your back garden and you’re straight into the harbour.’
