Description

This distinctive coastal property, known as The Zoo House, presents a unique investment opportunity with substantial renovation potential. Dating back to approximately 1956, it has served a fascinating purpose as accommodation for staff at the nearby Wildheart Trust Sanctuary. With significant ownership continuity since 1976, this residence is now making its market debut. The property boasts five spacious bedrooms, a sizable sitting/dining area, kitchen, and an office with views towards the sanctuary and beach. The extensive gardens span about 0.6 acres and include remnants of former animal enclosures and an ancillary bungalow once used for staff quarters. While retaining much character, the property requires comprehensive modernisation throughout, making it an ideal canvas for updates or redevelopment (subject to planning consents). The prime coastal location offers direct access to beaches and is well-served by transport links, appealing to those seeking either a permanent residence or investment project.
