This Grade II listed detached house blends historic charm with generous family accommodation across lower ground, ground and first floors. The thatched roof, arched dormers and decorative crenellation give the home strong period character, while a sizeable internal footprint (c. 2,636 sq ft) delivers multiple reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast area, and five bedrooms—four en-suite—with one bedroom benefitting from a private terrace.
The elevated plot offers a partial sea aspect and good privacy from mature boundary planting. Practical features include off-street parking for several vehicles, a garage/ancillary space and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The layout suits a large family seeking space for home working, guests or multi-generational living; there is also clear short‑stay or B&B potential, though any commercial use will be constrained by the listed status.
Buyers should note the property’s listed designation and thatched roof will require specialist maintenance and restrict alterations; listed-status consent will be needed for many changes. The age of the building (c. 1800) means ongoing upkeep is to be expected, and some period elements may need repair or sensitive restoration. Council tax banding is not provided and should be checked.
Located in an affluent, low-crime area with nearby good primary schools and accessible bus routes, the house sits well for family life and coastal leisure. Its combination of scale, original features and a rare coastal glimpse make it a distinctive home for those prepared to manage the responsibilities of owning a historic thatched property.
