Being situated at the top of Victoria Place it boasts a desirable location within a quiet conservation area, yet conveniently provides direct access onto the cliff path which links Jubilee Field, the sea front and town centre.

The owners have retained many unspoilt, characterful features, notable examples include high ceilings with fine mouldings, bay windows, stained glass and a wonderful reception hall with an attractive staircase. A more contemporary addition was the sun balcony off the sitting room which enjoys the sun all day and provides the most amazing beach and coastal views.

Outside, the property is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens with thoughtfully placed terraces which afford privacy as well as wonderful views.
