2 bedroom apartment for sale

A unique opportunity to acquire a character 2 bed ground floor seaside chalet along the west promenade a stone's throw from the beach and harbour

SITUATION: The property is situated within a terrace of single-storey chalets set back from the main sea front promenade by a pavement and lawn with a low stone wall (engineered as a defence in case of flooding).

This is a dead-end esplanade and thus there is little traffic passing but this is a main thoroughfare for pedestrians connecting the South West Coastal Paths.

Flights of steps off the promenade provide access to the beach below which comprises pebbles and sand and a comparatively safe swimming cove. A pier extends into the sea on the east side offering a walkway and sitting areas to enjoy the views and this is where a lot of "crabbing" takes place. The boating entrance to the harbour lies on the east side of the pier from which boat trips take place.

There are many foodie kiosks, pubs and restaurants providing excellent hospitality and there is a convenience store catering for day-to-day needs only a walk away.

THE PROPERTY is a mid-terrace chalet within a terrace of 11 with views over the sea and sky. Built in the 1960's and of single-storey construction under a fibre-glass roof, this chalet has a shared lawned area to the front and a small hard-landscaped private garden to the rear. It also benefits from a parking permit and a garage in a block nearby.

This chalet has been lived in full-time for many years and has retained its original frugality and character. It is now a blank canvas for updating to suit a modern lifestyle and is suitable for permanent living, as a private holiday retreat or as an investment for holiday rentals/AirBnB.
