Offering spacious living accommodation, exceptional garaging, and workshop facilities, this property presents a rare opportunity for those seeking a home with serious potential, business space, or hobby/workshop areas.

It could also be adapted into additional accommodation (subject to any necessary permissions).

The main living accommodation is located on the first floor and includes a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining area fitted with an integrated stainless-steel double sink and drainer, five-ring gas hob, and double oven, with space and plumbing for a washing machine, dishwasher, and fridge. There is a porch, WC, and a cupboard housing a lift providing access to the ground floor.

The bright lounge opens into a sun room at the front of the property, which enjoys lovely town and sea views and provides access to a small balcony. A fully tiled wet room includes a shower, basin, and toilet, and there are three bedrooms in total, along with an airing cupboard for storage.

To the rear of the property, there is a patio area with additional storage which could be a great office area.
