This elegant late Victorian residence occupies an elevated position in the unspoilt fishing village of Beer, within walking distance of the independent shops, cafes and pubs.
The attached house, named 1 East Croft, benefits from breath-taking views over the rooftops in the village, with the sea in the distance and a favourable south and west aspect. The unlisted property has an impressive front façade with large bay windows, Beer stone mullions, and high chimney stacks. Thanks to recent renovations the house is presented in excellent decorative order and careful attention has been paid to the finer details.
Inside, on the ground floor, there is a 25-foot drawing room with an open fireplace, ornate cornicing, and a seated bay window. A modern glass and oak staircase separates this room from the modern kitchen, which has high-gloss units, quartz work surfaces, a central island, and integrated appliances.
On the first floor, there are two bedrooms and a traditionally styled bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath. The large principal bedroom has lovely sea views and an ensuite bathroom, while the second bedroom has access to the terraced rear garden.
The second floor has been sympathetically converted using timber sarking and high-specification spray foam and was recently confirmed to be in excellent condition by an independent surveyor. This conversion provides two more double bedrooms and a modern shower room. One of the bedrooms has an exposed Beer stone wall.
Outside, at the front, a decked terrace with a jacuzzi hot tub offers stunning views over the rooftops to the sea. Planning approval has been granted to double the size of this terrace. At the back of the house, there is a sheltered terraced garden accessible via a bridge from a bedroom, which features composite decking and steps leading to two seating areas.
The property is accessed via a tree-lined driveway leading to a parking area with space for one vehicle. Additional parking for three to four vehicles is available on the eastern side of the house.
