This impressive Grade II listed end-of-terrace home, known as Valhalla, stands at a prominent corner location within a diverse coastal area that features both residential and commercial properties. The estate includes a spacious main residence alongside an adjoining ground-floor retail space and an independent flat above, all centered around a sizable rear courtyard equipped with parking and additional outbuildings. After being in the same family for generations, this property is now available for the first time in decades.
The main house spans three levels beneath a classic pitched slate roof, showcasing various architectural details that emphasize its historical significance, such as a charming three-storey curved bay with sash windows, an ornate metal canopy supported balcony, and intricate brick work. Despite its rich history and notable features like original fireplaces and decorative ceiling elements, the property is currently in a state of disrepair needing extensive upgrading. Key renovations will likely involve roof repairs, complete electrical rewiring, upgrading plumbing and heating systems, along with wide-ranging restorative work throughout — all contingent upon securing the necessary permissions for listed buildings.
Externally, the property boasts a walled garden at the front with lawn areas and plantings. Access to both vehicles and pedestrians is granted via Lyon Street through an archway leading to the large enclosed courtyard that allows parking for multiple vehicles while also providing entry to several ancillary structures. The rear garden beyond offers additional outdoor space largely laid to lawn surrounded by charming flint walls.
The commercial unit on the ground floor can be reached from both Lyon Street and the courtyard while the upper maisonette-style flat has separate access from Lyon Street itself. This configuration allows for versatile living arrangements or potential rental income opportunities in this mixed-use setting.
