Ebbor House is a substantial double-fronted residence that has been held by the same family since approximately 1958. This property presents a unique opportunity for buyers seeking to invest in a home with significant renovation potential. With 3,465 square feet of adaptable living space, it invites creative modernization efforts to transform it into an exquisite home that reflects individual style and needs. Although the house has experienced a period of neglect, the investment required is deemed justifiable given its size and potential. The surrounding grounds span around 1.5 acres, offering a high degree of privacy through mature landscaping, which also hints at future redevelopment possibilities—subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions, of course. Notably, previous attempts at redevelopment have faced challenges primarily due to concerns about maintaining the character of the area.
Inside, the layout includes a spacious entrance hall leading to a dual-aspect sitting room seamlessly connected to the dining room. There’s also a cozy snug and an expansive kitchen/breakfast room equipped with various utility spaces and a cloakroom. The first floor accommodates seven bedrooms alongside essential bathroom facilities including both Jack and Jill bathrooms and separate amenities; several rooms provide attractive sea views.
