Truly Exceptional Waterfront opportunity.
A truly exceptional residential opportunity. Two substantial and elegant period homes occupy this stunning waterfront setting, available for purchase in one or two lots.
Both properties are presented in excellent decorative order throughout and have been extensively upgraded and meticulously maintained by the current owner. Generous off-street parking is located to the rear of the buildings and is accessed via secure electric gates. While the properties were most recently used as offices, they benefit from full residential planning permission. Together, the buildings may also offer future development potential, subject to the appropriate planning approvals.
Number 14 is a magnificent double-fronted period property and the larger of the two homes. The accommodation comprises a two-storey over basement residence that has been substantially extended at ground floor level. The ground floor features an elegant entrance hall leading to three interconnecting principal reception rooms. The rearmost room enjoys a south-west aspect and opens directly onto the garden / parking area. Many of the rooms retain original period features. There are also two additional rooms on this level, together with two WCs and a shower room.
The garden level provides four further reception rooms, a large storage room, a shower room, and a kitchen. On the first floor there are four additional rooms, some of which enjoy dramatic sea and coastal views to the front. This level also includes a further kitchen and WC.
Number 15 is an attractive single-fronted three-storey period home with a more traditional Victorian layout. The ground floor comprises an elegant entrance hall and two interconnecting reception rooms, with a south-west aspect to the rear and wonderful sea views to the front. The return includes two WCs, a shower room, a kitchen area, and a further large room with access to the rear garden / parking area. The garden level comprises two large interconnecting reception rooms, together with a WC and shower room. There is also separate access from the front and a useful storeroom.
