No chain - Presented to the market for the first time in 45 years, this 1930's detached home is positioned in a highly desirable location on the East Cliff, just around the corner from stunning seafront walks on 'The Downs'.
The property sits on a 49' (15.09m) wide plot with further potential to extend (subject to necessary consents being obtained).
There are four reception rooms, a kitchen and downstairs WC to the ground floor. One of the reception rooms as independent access from the front of the property meaning this area of the property could be adapted as annexe accommodation if required.
