Description

Dating back some 200 years, 25 South Street is full of charm and character, yet has been modernised and updated internally to create a fantastic coastal home. Occupying the ground floor of a terraced stone-built property, the entrance leads through a vestibule into the hall. At the front of the property are two spacious double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes. Down the hall is a further double bedroom with fitted wardrobe space, which is adjacent to the family bathroom.

To the rear of the property is the bright open plan living space, where a modern fitted kitchen with island overlooks a dining area and sitting room. Large apex skylights, and floor to ceiling windows provide plenty of natural light and connection to the rear garden. The kitchen features integrated appliances including gas hob, oven, and fridge/ freezer. The L-shaped counter provides a natural separation from the dining area, and doubles up as a breakfast bar. The dining area, which has a light well situated above, then leads into the sitting room which is bright and airy.

Patio doors open up on to the rear garden where a patio area is set into the terraced garden. Steps then lead up to the lawn area and a further patio area ideal for al fresco dining. A garden shed is situated in the northeast corner of the property. The garden is edged by a stone boundary wall to the west and north with feature alcoves, and a wooden fence boundary to the east.
