What an incredible opportunity this unique seafront maisonette presents, situated on 'The Downs' with the most spectacular coastal views.
Covering an impressive 1656 sq ft (154 sq m) over three floors, this super spacious property rivals most houses with its own entrance, private south facing garden and a large sea facing sun terrace which proves to be the perfect vantage point to enjoy sunsets.
The main living room is at second floor level, designed to maximise the sea views with full width bi-folding doors opening out to the large sun terrace. A contemporary shower room with WC is also found up here, not only adding convenience, but also serving as an en-suite if the top floor is used a bedroom.
In addition, you will find a large kitchen/dining/sitting room spanning the width of the building, four bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. A real highlight of the property is the professionally installed cinema room on the ground floor which adds a real sense of luxury whilst a downstairs WC is also found here.
Ample off-road parking is provided to the front via a block paved driveway.
With the benefit of owning 50/50 share of the freehold, this large maisonette has many additional features that apartments usually lack, meaning it works well as a family home and is perfect for those looking for the dream seaside retreat. Alternatively, we are of the opinion that the property could be a lucrative holiday let opportunity.
