Character, Comfort & Contemporary Living
Thoughtfully designed to highlight its Georgian origins, the apartment features original cast-iron railings, wooden shutters, high ceilings and a private terrace restored from the former coal store. The bright living and dining area is perfect for gathering after a day at the beach, offering reclining sofas, a generously sized dining table and a fully equipped open-plan kitchen.
The spacious hallway leads to:
- Bedroom 1 – Flexible Twin / Super-King
A generous twin room with zip-link beds (convertible to a super-king), ideal for families and groups. There’s ample floor space for a travel cot if needed.
- Bedroom 2 – Peaceful Master Suite
A calming double bedroom with French doors opening onto a totally enclosed, high-walled inner courtyard—safe for children and perfect for morning coffee. The ensuite shower room adds a touch of luxury and convenience.
A family bathroom with a large bath and hand shower completes the layout.
Unique Outdoor Spaces
To the front of the property, descend the original Georgian steps to a private undercover patio, once the coal store and now transformed into a stylish outdoor seating area. It’s wonderfully cool on summer afternoons and a cosy hideaway for board games on rainy days.
A rear door leads directly to the lift and steps up to the private car park, ensuring easy movement throughout the property.
