On a clear day, the far reaching views stretch across to the distant Welsh coastline and there are many passing ships and yachts through the Channel. Located just a few minutes, mainly level stroll is the picturesque harbour which is the home of Damian Hirst's 'Verity' statue which has been responsible for attracting many visitors to the town over the past few years. The bustling seafront has many good quality restaurants including the recently awarded Michelin starred 'Olive Room'. There are a number of bars/public houses along with small independent shops, all of which are within easy reach of the apartment. The landmark Theatre is close by as are beaches at Cheyne, Wildersmouth and the famous hand carved Tunnels Beaches with sea water pool. Damian Hirst's influence on the town continues to grow and there are now many art galleries within the immediate area.

The family showerroom comprises of a walk in shower cubicle with extensive wall tiling, w.c, wash hand basin and a heated towel rail for convenience.

The apartment is considered ideal as either a permanent home or alternatively would make a high quality second home/holiday let. The location is ideal for attracting holiday makers to the property which would have great income earning potential.
