The property
As soon as you step into the hall at 33 The Terrace you know you’re somewhere special with light streaming in from the skylight at the top of the stair well and high ceilings with original features throughout the house, and a feeling of quietude thanks to solid walls, typical of an old building, allowing guests a high level of privacy and seclusion. Modern and well equipped, the kitchen/dining room with under floor heating sits at the back of the house with utility/shower room adjacent, and the family room at the front. The key feature in the large living room is the seascape from the floor to ceiling sash windows opening onto a Juliette balcony.

The beach is a popular place for groups and couples to enjoy the wonderful fish and chips throughout the summer months. The town is steeped in history and has become a wonderful town for shopping with a good mixture of independent and chain stores to enjoy. The town also offers a good selection of pubs and restaurants or why not buy some freshly caught fish from the huts on the seafront and cook up your own feast at home.
