Description

This charming turreted character house was built in the late 1920s for a sea captain who employed an architect to design and build the property, incorporating its beautiful ornate features. The house has had a fascinating history, with ownership passing from the sea captain to two sisters who were part of the suffragette movement, and then to the current owner's parents in 1960. The property has a unique layout, with a stunning reception hall, elegant lounge with leadlight bay windows, and a beautifully refitted kitchen. The first floor features three bedrooms, including a impressive master bedroom with a raised platform and freestanding bath, and a bathroom with a modern suite. The property also benefits from a corner plot with a good-sized front garden and estuary views, as well as a small courtyard rear garden that could be used for off-street parking. With its rich history and potential for extension, this property is a rare find in this area.
