Chrystals have pleasure in offering for sale this elegant waterfront Regency townhouse, enjoying outstanding an uninterrupted sea, bay and coastal panorama. Enjoying over one hundred feet of private sea frontage, Bay House is a detached residence offering generous family accommodation. Large, light rooms take full advantage of the panoramic views that come with it’s south facing sea-frontage. The house has been fully modernised with all fixtures and fittings sympathetic to the era and style of the property, yet retaining original period features, notably the fireplaces and beautifully panelled doors. The restored floors are of polished hardwood and some of the period ceilings are elaborately decorated plasterwork. A particular feature of this impressive family home is the flexibility of accommodation layout, with the kitchen utility wing having a separate entrance and first floor living space above. This could easily be utilised as a self-contained suite for family or staff, such as live-in house keeper / au-pair. The house is of masonry construction, painted and cement rendered and has a slate roof. There are two large garages with automatic doors and an inspection pit. Under a large roofed canopy are two additional covered parking spaces. Outside the large entrance courtyard offers further visitor’s car parking for 3 or more vehicles. Separate to the main house is a studio / office with private courtyard entrance.
