Period character with modern kitchen and large southerly garden near the beach.
Five double bedrooms plus versatile fifth bedroom/study
A substantial five-bedroom detached home on sought-after Clifton Drive, set back behind a generous front garden and extensive off-street parking. The house blends original Arts & Crafts character — leaded and stained glass, half-timbered bay — with modern improvements such as a contemporary kitchen, utility room and triple-glazed windows for quiet, efficient living. A southerly-facing rear garden and proximity to the beach, Fairhaven Lake, Granny’s Bay and the train station make this a strong family location.
The ground floor offers a grand entrance hall, three reception rooms and a fitted kitchen with granite worktops and breakfast bar, comfortable for everyday family life and entertaining. Upstairs provides four double bedrooms plus a fifth room suitable as a study or guest room; one bedroom has a modern ensuite. The property’s 2,322 sq ft footprint and large plot give scope for reconfiguration or extension subject to consents.
Practical points to note: there are two bathrooms for five bedrooms, which may require adding facilities for larger families. Tenure is not specified and should be confirmed early. The immediate area is classified as ageing urban communities/communal retirement — the neighbourhood mix is mature rather than exclusively family-focused. No flood risk is recorded.
Overall this detached period house offers character, space and convenient coastal living within walking distance of local schools and amenities. It will suit buyers seeking a character home near the sea who are prepared to adapt internal layout or add bathrooms to fully match a large household’s needs.
