A superb and spacious period four-bedroom family home, situated in an elevated position, a short distance from the town centre

This superb family home boasts a wealth of character and charm, from the solid wood doors to the original coving. The current owners have enjoyed this spacious home for over 45 years, to whom it is a credit. They have enjoyed raising their family in this beautiful property, with well maintained and private gardens, whilst being close to the town centre and all that the bay has to offer.

The property is approached through a an original Victorian door into the entrance porch, providing a useful space for coats and shoes. A further door leads into the entrance hallway. The entrance hall is a good size with stairs to the first floor, with the original banister and balustrading, doors to the principal rooms, French doors onto the garden, and a useful under stairs study area.

The dining room is another well proportioned room, again offering high ceilings, coving and a sash window to the rear aspect. The kitchen is another generous room with space for a breakfast table and has a matching range of wall and base level units, with space for appliances including a range cooker. A door from here leads to the side aspect.

Stairs lead to the first floor with a split level landing, with glazed window and hatch to loft space. There are four wonderful bedrooms, each are of a good size and a family bathroom with low level WC, pedestal wash hand basin and panelled bath with shower over. The owners have advised us that the loft has good head height, and subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, could create additional accommodation.

The garden is a real pleasure, and again is credit to the current vendors, who over the years have designed and planted beautiful low maintenance areas, creating interesting spaces to enjoy, eat, entertain and relax. Being designed over three levels it is a delight to explore this wonderful space. The main area of garden is laid to lawns, which are surrounded by mature sub-tropical plants, shrubs and palms. It enjoys a decked seating area, which can be accessed from the French doors of the house. The next area is the middle terrace, which faces Southwest and provides a wonderful space for sun loungers. Continuing the Mediterranean theme with a mix of exotic plants and there is a barbecue area. The views from this area are superb and take in the local tree lined park. The top level is approached through a stone archway and is privately tucked away, there is a useful workshop/ hobby shed with water and power connected. The views from the top terrace are as wonderful as those on the previous terrace, and there is an ornamental pond with a water fall feature, making this a really tranquil area to enjoy the garden.
