A graceful Victorian townhouse of impressive proportions (6500sq ft) with seven bedrooms, views to the sea, a walled garden, guest/staff suite and garage.

This is a house which somehow makes you walk a little taller as you move around the elegant, expansive and beautifully restored rooms. The current owner who has owned the house for many years has shown a commitment to reinstating the grandeur of the house as it would have been when it was built in the mid 19th century along with an awareness of what makes a contemporary home feel comfortable and well appointed.

All cornicing, skirting boards, doors, windows, shutters, flooring, plastering and staircases have been restored to the highest standards. The exterior has been restored including the original railings and zinc canopy from the Drawing Room balcony. Fireplaces throughout the house are all functional. Gas mains have also been installed adjacent to the fireplaces. Invisible speakers and a CAT5 System have been installed as well as a professional quality cinema room. There is a double boiler system to provide effectively for the five bathrooms. All pipework has been concealed to retain the original character of the house. Shutters throughout have been restored and draught-proofed. Together these facilities make this a perfect contemporary home with a high regard for the authenticity and elegance of the period of the original building.

The exterior of the building has been re-plastered and a plastic mesh put on the walls to prevent cracking which is a common issue with houses of this age. Pigeon/seagull deterrent netting has been put in place around the exterior of the house.
