About this home

Occupying a prominent seafront position on Beacon Hill, this mid-century modern home enjoys outstanding coastal views and sits within an exceptional plot with 71' (21.77m) frontage that offers significant scope for extension, reconfiguration or perhaps redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.

The property provides generous and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. A spacious principal reception room is positioned to take full advantage of the panoramic sea outlook, with large windows drawing natural light into the room and framing the coastal vista. A second reception room opens onto a conservatory overlooking the rear garden, creating further living and entertaining space.

The kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home, offering plenty of room for everyday family living and informal gatherings. Supporting accommodation on the ground floor includes a utility room, shower room, cloakroom and a third reception room which has also been a fourth bedroom, provides flexibility for guests, home working or multi-generational living.

The first floor presents three well proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from a triple aspect with far reaching sea views at the front, while a feature window on the landing provides a striking vantage point from which to enjoy the changing coastal landscape.

Externally, the property's scale is particularly noteworthy. The substantial plot incorporates extensive frontage with extensive off-road parking, a large south facing rear garden and a huge double garage with rear vehicular access onto Beacon walk. The size and configuration of the site may be of particular interest to purchasers seeking a development opportunity in a highly regarded location, subject to planning permission.

All in all, a truly once in a lifetime opportunity to create the dream home.
