Maison Morpeth

The Haven is a substantial and versatile Edwardian residence, built in 1908 and set within a generous plot. This impressive home has been successfully operated as a bed and breakfast, offering spacious and flexible accommodation across three floors. The property combines character and practicality, making it equally well-suited as a large family home or an income-generating opportunity.

The ground floor provides well-balanced living accommodation, including a spacious drawing room to the front with a bay window and a separate family sitting room to the rear, ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. A large kitchen sits at the heart of the home, complemented by a generous utility room and additional ancillary spaces. There is also a large dining room, office, and WC, offering excellent flexibility for modern family living or guest use.

The first floor comprises five generous en-suite bedrooms as well as a luxurious principal suite with its own private sitting room, a walk-in wardrobe, and an en-suite.

The upper floor continues to impress with six additional bedrooms, three of which enjoy en-suites, with the remaining rooms served by a family bathroom. This level is perfectly suited for extended family, guests, which could be converted into it’s own apartment or continued hospitality use, with a layout that maximises space and functionality.

Externally, the property is set within large, well-maintained grounds, reflecting the scale of its substantial plot and offering a high degree of privacy and space. There is a large private carpark for multiple vehicles, making it particularly well-suited for a bed and breakfast or for hosting visitors. The outdoor areas provide excellent potential for further landscaping or leisure use, enhancing the overall appeal of this impressive home. Notably, the grounds also benefit from outline permission for the construction of an additional dwelling, presenting an attractive opportunity for future development, subject to the necessary consents being renewed.
