Description
This remarkable Grade II listed home combines historical significance, versatility, and an enviable coastal setting. Built in the 1840s, the property was once part of the home for Isambard Kingdom Brunel and his family. Period features abound, including sash windows, original shutters, and characterful fireplaces. The property boasts generous living space, with a main house offering three to four bedrooms, and a self-contained one-bedroom annexe. The landscaped gardens, extending to around a quarter of an acre, offer sea views, a decked sun terrace, and a summerhouse. The property is located near the South West Coast Path, Watcombe Beach, and Labrador Bay, providing a peaceful and accessible setting.
