Stunning Grade II listed Georgian coastal property.
Description
According to its Listing description, the house has an interesting history having been
“Built for Sir Watkin Lewis, Lord Mayor of London, before 1810 and possibly altered for Captain George Bowen, first coxswain of the Cardigan lifeboat 1848.”
Over the years the property has been sympathetically maintained and enhanced by the various owners providing a superb coastal residence and retreat.
Accommodation Ground Floor
A welcoming front entrance leads into the reception hall with character exposed floorboards and doors leading off to the principal reception rooms. On the left is the drawing room that enjoys the far reaching views and has a boarded floor and the warm focal point of a wood burning stove. On the right of the entrance hall is the living room/dining room that again enjoys the same views, boarded floor and has an ornate feature fireplace. This room opens into the impressive orangery/sitting/dining room that is a large space enjoying excellent natural light from the roof lantern, vantage points to enjoy the views and a feature fireplace providing a focal point.
This room is open plan to the kitchen that features smart fitted base and wall units, worktops, integrated appliances and a smart black Aga taking centre stage. Another doorway form the kitchen goes back into the same main reception hall at the rear of the house. Continuing around this hall there is study to the rear of the drawing room. This fine room features an ornate tiled floor and looks out across the side garden.
At the rear of the house is a rear hallway with separate access to the courtyard via a porch. There is also a useful cloakroom, separate laundry/boot room with fitted cupboards, a shower room with WC and a side porch to the garden with useful sink.
Lower Ground Floor
Character slate steps leads off from the end of the reception hall by the kitchen to the lower ground floor space. On this level is a cosy sitting room/study that has an old inglenook fireplace. Adjacent is a useful storeroom and a separate workshop/tool store that would make a great hobby room/studio etc.
First Floor
A fine staircase rises up from the reception hall to the first-floor accommodation that includes five beautifully decorated bedrooms. Three enjoy views of the front and down to the river, estuary and sea while the other two bedrooms overlook the side gardens. Bedroom five is accessed through the principal bedroom that has an adjacent bathroom suite and so could be used as a large dressing room. The floor is completed by a sumptuous bathroom suite with roll tap bath enjoying the views and a separate shower.
