The home features four bedrooms and is surrounded by generous, wrap-around gardens that offer sweeping views of Seaton Bay and Beer Head, making it an appealing investment for those looking to create their dream residence in a picturesque setting. The property retains many original character elements, including large wooden panelled doors, hardwood windows, and high ceilings that add to its historic charm. The main living spaces are positioned on the upper floor to maximize the stunning vistas, allowing natural light to flood the interiors through large windows in the living room. This arrangement not only enhances the ambiance but also provides an inviting environment for gatherings or quiet evenings watching the sunset over the bay. The kitchen is equipped with cream-colored base and wall units along with integrated appliances, featuring a breakfast bar that allows for casual dining. A separate utility room offers additional storage options along with space for laundry needs and includes a convenient shower room.

A second double bedroom is situated on the ground floor, characterized by a cozy fireplace and a window that overlooks the gardens—ideal for guests or family members seeking privacy.

Outside, the property's gardens are well-maintained across multiple levels, featuring mature shrubs and designated seating areas that invite relaxation amidst nature. An enclosed rear courtyard framed by original stone walls adds to the outdoor charm. This property is connected to mains electricity and water while benefiting from electric central heating and shared septic tank drainage with neighboring homes.
