An elegant 1920's detached home of immense character, situated within this ever desirable location with the beach just at the end of the road.
A large reception hall provides an immediate sense of grandeur, rich in period charm and original features and a hint to what lies beyond.
There are three versatile reception rooms. The lounge sits to the front of the house and is bathed in natural light with a lovely dual aspect and access to the side garden. The formal dining room is an opulent space to entertain from and features a large bay window and attractive period fireplace. A very handy family room is at the back of the house, opening to the rear garden and may prove ideal as a snug for teenagers or a media room.
An attractive dog legged staircase rises to the spacious first floor landing where an original stained glass window is a real focal point. Four bedrooms are found up here with a huge family bathroom and a separate WC.
Moving outside and the rear garden offers plenty of room to relax in with a large side return providing a great sun trap with excellent privacy. A log cabin has power and light and up until recently, has been used as a home office. Ample off-road parking is provided at the front and leads to a tandem length garage.
Overall, totally individual period home situated in a location where properties rarely come available.
