Description
The Anchorage is a substantial and charming period house occupying a large plot with adjacent cottage annexe on a popular road just moments from the yacht club, beach and village centre in Seaview. The large house boats a wealth of attractive and characterful features, largely unchanged from its original form, yet boasting a generous layout of 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms arranged over 3 floors and achieving plenty of light throughout and there are distant views to The Solent. The property has high ceilings, original room proportions with timber sash deep bay windows, in addition to ornate coving, architraves and deep skirting boards. The Adjacent cottage, formerly staff quarters benefits from its own entrance and a versatile arrangement of 3 bedrooms and a bathroom arranged over three floors. This element will suit multi generational families or those wishing to utilise as overspill accommodation or as a holiday let investment. The cottage could also be incorporated into the main house with some basic building work (subject to building regulations and permissions). There is plenty of off-road parking with a large driveway to the side and access to the garden which extends to a green backdrop of mature shrubs and trees to the rear.
