The six-bedroom house sits on a large plot of land, with the potential to create either one separate dwelling or build two or three separate family homes from new.

The garden is the ideal size for families or for sophisticated summer entertaining, surrounded by mature trees and greenery, with sea views from the upper floor and balconies. The property is approached through secure iron gates and has an elegant entrance, giving it an air of grandeur. The proposed new homes would be contemporary and have ample glazing to take advantage of the southerly aspect. The house itself is in need of updating and repair, but retains its original Edwardian features, including internal doors, door furniture, wall panelling, and balustrades. The property has endless possibilities for reconfiguration and garden landscaping, making it an ideal opportunity for those looking to escape the city and relocate to an area with excellent transport links and access to private and state schools.
