Available for the first time in many years, this property has significant potential to be transformed into a stunning residence that capitalizes on its expansive views over the town and the sea. The house is set on a generous plot of just over 0.75 acres, allowing for various possibilities including the potential construction of additional properties, pending the necessary planning approvals.
Spanning approximately 2,700 square feet, the accommodation features a well-designed layout that includes four bedrooms, each equipped with sinks and offering delightful views of the surrounding gardens and hills. The galleried landing enhances the sense of space upstairs while also providing access to an ample loft area—ideal for storage or even conversion into a master suite if desired.

A spacious hallway with parquet flooring leads you past a comfortable drawing room complete with a traditional Minster open fireplace and an adjoining seating area that boasts picturesque garden views. Adjacent to this is a dual-aspect room currently utilized as a study, which flows seamlessly into a sunroom featuring sliding patio doors that open directly onto the garden.
The dining room further complements the living areas and connects to the kitchen—a practical space designed with fitted units and room for casual dining. The kitchen offers access to both the driveway and back garden, as well as a sizable traditional larder.
Outside, the property stands out with its extensive grounds, encompassing both gravelled parking in front and mature gardens at the rear. With ample space for outdoor dining and relaxation, these gardens come alive with established plants and shrubs. The property's substantial land offers considerable flexibility for development opportunities.
