A substantial 1927 detached family house on De la Warr Road, offered with generous living space across three storeys. The home retains period character — an original solid oak staircase, open fireplace with Minster stone surround and high ceilings — while recent practical upgrades include a new boiler and consumer unit (2023) and a new conservatory roof and exterior decoration (2024). The south-facing rear garden is large, lawned and private, with mature trees and a summerhouse, ideal for family use and outdoor entertaining.
Accommodation includes three reception rooms, a conservatory, a fitted dual-aspect kitchen, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor; three double bedrooms, a single bedroom, bathroom and cloakroom on the first floor; and a versatile top-floor hobby room currently used as a fifth bedroom with far-reaching views. Parking is provided by an integral garage, car port and off-road driveway. Local schools for all ages are within easy reach, and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Practical considerations: there is a single bathroom for five bedrooms which may be inconvenient for larger households, and the original cavity wall construction appears to lack added insulation — further insulation or modernisation could be beneficial. Crime in the immediate area is reported above average, which some buyers will weigh against the property's space and location. While distant sea views are claimed from upper floors, the immediate outlook is suburban rather than coastal.
This house will suit a growing family seeking space, character and a large south-facing garden, or buyers looking for a roomy period home to modernise carefully. Early inspection is recommended to appreciate the scale, garden and flexible layout offered here.
