South-easterly facing reception rooms with beautiful bay windows and access to the veranda style balconies are a real feature of this fine home, and are coupled with three further useful rooms, the kitchen/breakfast room with utility and a cloakroom; all of which flow from a central hallway.

With both lift and stair access, the top floor comprises five bedrooms, two with en suites and a family bathroom; one of the bedrooms is currently utilised as a dressing room. From this floor, is the ideal spot to watch the boats at sea, with the road below hidden from this height, and from here is access to the rear roof terrace. An extensive cellar space is accessed from separate stairs and lobby and offers great storage and also allows access to an outside courtyard with a path to the rear.

The property has its own private lift and staircase, which is accessed through its private front door off the communal entrance hall. Once in your private area, you also have stairs down to an extensive cellar ideal for storage. The spacious accommodation in this property offers an ideal opportunity for multi-generational living and a separate two bedroom flat on the ground floor of the building, with an allocated parking space, will shortly become available to further enhance this possibility.
