Location
A substantial attached harbour front property in a prominent location overlooking the historic Royal harbour.
Occupying a prominent, elevated position with 180 degree panoramic views, Harbour House is a Gothic style property overlooking the Historic Royal Harbour. This substantial and outstanding five bedroom property has been, in recent years sympathetically remodelled by specialist conversion architects del Renzio & del Renzio.
This attached Victorian property which lies within the Conservation Area, enjoys a south facing double storey conservatory bringing the outside in, in all weathers. The house is presented beautifully and is generously proportioned amounting to over 3,700 sq ft with the accommodation currently configured as two apartments with a separate self-contained annexe, providing the opportunity for flexible multi-generational living.
The front door opens to a substantial hallway with original tessellated tile flooring and leads through to the ground floor accommodation with a sitting room, a kitchen/breakfast room opening onto the south facing conservatory, an office, utility room and two bedrooms, one of which benefits from a wet room with under floor heating. There is also a separate wet room off the hallway.
The original balustraded staircase ascends up to the first floor where accommodation comprises; a stunning library with southerly views across the harbour, an adjacent kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, cloakroom and three bedrooms. The main bedroom features a decorative trompe l'oeil which is a stunning feature to this room, along with a wet room and dressing room. The second bedroom also benefits from en suite facilities.
On the lower ground floor, the garden room formerly a doctors surgery, is a great space with an extensive range of store rooms, craft rooms, kitchenette and cloakroom. Adjoining the side of the property is a self-contained annexe comprising a sitting room, kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom.
Approached via Cliff Street, to the front of the property is an enclosed garden with an array of seasonal shrubs and herbaceous borders. To the south of the property, the terrace overlooks the historic harbour bounded by Grade II listed railings with steps leading down to the local shops and restaurants.

I think this must be one of the best located properties I have ever seen in my time, with 180 degree panoramic seaside views!
