Built in 1806 as a coastal defence, The Grey Tower is an imposing circular Martello Tower, offering more than 2,600 sq feet of light filled flexible accommodation arranged over three floors, sensitively converted. Now requiring modernisation, the property has stunning views over Pevensey Bay towards Dieppe, and has character features including six foot thick exposed brick curved walls, a central pillar with vaulted arches and radial beams.
The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall and comprises a large 26 ft. reception room and a spacious kitchen/ breakfast room with a range of wall and base units and integrated appliances. A door from the reception room gives access to a bedroom wing comprising a generous dual aspect principal bedroom with modern fully-tiled en-suite bathroom, and two further well-proportioned double bedrooms.
A central staircase rises from the reception room to an extensive first floor circular family room with exposed wooden flooring, two feature bay windows and a useful family bathroom. A separate concealed winding stone staircase rises to a spacious circular second floor room, suitable for a variety of uses, with fabulous 360 degree views of the coast and countryside.
The property is approached over a tarmac forecourt providing parking for multiple vehicles and giving access to the detached double garage. The garden is enclosed by fencing and screening with mature hedging and features a spacious blocked-paved terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
Pevensey Bay is an old fishing village, founded in the 1600s as Wallsend, the end of the sea wall from Eastbourne, and is renowned as the landing place for William The Conquerer in his 1066 invasion of England.
