A substantial Victorian townhouse arranged over four floors, this beautifully restored home offers flexible living for families and multi‑generational households. The main residence provides spacious reception rooms, five bedrooms and two luxurious bathrooms, while the self‑contained two‑bedroom annexe (with its own entrance) creates rental or guest accommodation and income potential. High ceilings, original fireplaces, cornicing and an impressive entrance hall retain authentic period character throughout.
Thoughtful recent works mean the house is ready to move into: a brand new roof and a new central heating system sit alongside high‑end finishes such as marble bathroom fittings and herringbone Karndean flooring. The property occupies a large townhouse footprint (circa 2,976 sq ft / 276 sq m) yet external amenity is compact — a south‑facing split‑level courtyard provides private outdoor space but is small compared with the house’s scale.
Location is a major draw: literally yards from the beach, local shops and Westgate train station with services to London. Nearby schools and town amenities suit family life, and the annexe can support long‑term multi‑generational living or short‑term holiday lettings. Practical points to note: parking is unrestricted on‑street only, and the surrounding area records higher crime and local deprivation indices, which some buyers may wish to consider.
Overall, this is a rare, move‑in ready Victorian home that pairs period grandeur with contemporary comfort. It will particularly suit buyers seeking generous accommodation, seaside living and immediate rental or annexe flexibility, while those prioritising large gardens or private off‑street parking should note the property’s limited external space and on‑street parking arrangement.
