THE PROPERTY
Believed to have been built in the early 1800's this period property must be viewed to be fully appreciated and is deceptively spacious, especially the lower ground floor area (which is ideal for entertaining) with the dining room, bar lounge, games room and bar servery, all leading to the sun deck with glorious sea views.
There are 8 en-suite letting bedrooms (the rear rooms have views of the promenade and the sea), 2 further top floor bedrooms are currently used as private accommodation as well as a self-contained 2 bedroom owners suite with private lounge and private bathroom on the ground floor.
The property has gas fired radiator central heating and the accommodation is well presented throughout. To the front of the property there is forecourt parking for 3 cars and to the rear steps lead down from the sun deck to a level garden area, which would be suitable for a hot tub.
To the end of the garden is a chalet which provides a one bedroom en-suite granny annexe. Pedestrian access can be gained to Sommers Crescent and to the seafront beyond.
