" PERIOD SEAFRONT HOME WITH REAR ACCESS & GARAGE...With beautiful sea views over 'The Downs', this large period home is in need updating throughout but offers fantastic scope for improvement and occupies an unusually large plot.Formerly a four bedroom home, this deceptive property offers much larger than average living accommodation, currently arranged with three good size bedrooms, two reception rooms, sun lounge, kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom, and a family bathroom.Upon entering the property, you'll be struck by the grand 11ft entrance hall with original staircase and ornate period detailing throughout. Upstairs, the 22ft master bedroom (formerly two rooms) could also prove to be an excellent first floor living room, with elevated views out to sea and beyond, and patio doors leading to a balcony.The 45ft rear garden benefits from a southerly aspect, enjoying sunshine throughout the day and provides a good degree of privacy. Behind the main garden, the plot extends by a further 100ft to incorporate a garage and carport, which can be accessed from Alma Road. Additional off-road parking can be found to the front of the property via the paved driveway. Properties with this amount of potential are rarely found and we therefore urge an early viewing appointment to avoid disappointment.
