This charming detached residence from the 1920s is situated in a desirable area on the eastern side of town, conveniently close to both the seafront and town center. The property is filled with character, showcasing stunning period features like stained glass windows, intricate joinery, and classic fireplaces. Upon entering, a grand hallway sets a welcoming tone. The layout includes two versatile reception rooms with lovely bay windows that can be tailored to suit your lifestyle needs. The kitchen breakfast room completes the ground floor layout.
