The current owners have undertaken a remarkable programme of renovation and remodelling, carefully preserving the architectural integrity of the property while creating spaces perfectly suited to contemporary life. Original stained glass, elegant plasterwork, impressive fireplaces and magnificent proportions remain throughout, complemented by high-quality improvements that enhance rather than overshadow the home’s rich heritage.

The elegant drawing room enjoys dual aspect windows featuring remarkable stained glass depicting the area’s maritime and boatbuilding history, while the dining room occupies the former kitchen and retains a deep fireplace recess together with access to the original staff staircase. Additional accommodation includes a boot room, utility room, cloakroom and laundry facilities.

The first floor provides six bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite with en-suite shower room. A beautifully appointed family bathroom features a freestanding bath and separate shower, while a first-floor veranda with decorative cast-iron railings provides wonderful views across the gardens. Two further bedrooms occupy the upper floor, both featuring vaulted ceilings and characterful architectural details.

Approached via a sweeping circular driveway, the property enjoys extensive parking, garaging and a range of useful outbuildings.
