The current custodians have been in ownership of the prominent Georgian house since 2003, and is arranged over four floors within the Pier Head Conservation Area, dating back to 1811.

There is large open plan living accommodation dominating the upper floor which has vaulted ceilings, views of the river and direct access to the rear garden. The lower part features a shower room, a useful large storage room and a lounge.
The generously sized riverside garden is owned and well maintained by the residents management company.

In addition to a secluded low maintenance private garden and the pretty inner courtyard, the house shares ownership of the garden, the cobbled lane and the beach which is revealed twice each day at low tide. The house has a right to use the garden and to park a car in the lane.
