Description

For those that are not familiar with Wellington Terrace, on first visiting viewers will no doubt be moved by the truly exceptional views that are to be enjoyed to the rear of the property and the sense of peace and tranquillity that the gardens offer. This is certainly one of the larger homes in this sought after location with generous gardens and access directly on to the coastal path. The property is also within 0.5 miles of the various shops, restaurants and wine bars of Hill Road.

Approached via a gravelled forecourt with private off road parking for a number of vehicles, there are two entrances to the property which was originally purchased by the current owners as two separate homes. The lateral split in the home still exists with the principal accommodation on the garden and ground floor with a separate side door entrance leading up to the upper floor apartment. It would be a relatively simple matter to incorporate the apartment into the main part of the house if so desired but as currently laid out, it offers a very good opportunity for those seeking to house an independent family member or to generate useful rental income.

The front door opens to a welcoming hallway with smart oak staircase leading down to the garden level. A pair of doors with glazed insets open to a large dual aspect sitting room with marble fireplace and Georgian sash window taking in the lovely views across the garden and the estuary. To the far side of the hall is a good sized home office with a double bedroom to the rear and a very smart four piece, period style bathroom with free standing Victorian style bath with 'ball and claw' feet. At the garden level, there is a wonderful solid Oak hand built kitchen by the Cotswold Collection, which is certainly a notable feature of the home with an array of built in storage cabinets, double Villeroy and Bosh Belfast sink, American style fridge/freezer and a electric fired Aga stove. Bifold doors open directly to the entertaining terrace with further doors into the adjacent snug. These are lovely, relaxed spaces for entertaining family and friends. There are two further double bedrooms on this floor with modern shower room and a useful side lobby area which comprises of a boot room, utility and cloakroom. From here, doors open to both front and rear gardens.

From both the front driveway and via a flight of steps in the rear garden, there is access to a useful workspace, currently used as an art studio with the inner plant area housing a modern Vaillant gas boiler and separate hot water tank. A flight of stairs lead up to a conservatory overlooking the channel and access to a very spacious apartment which offers a good deal of flexibility, whether laid out in its current form with kitchen, sitting room and three bedrooms, or alternatively as a wonderful suite of home offices for families that now have homeworking requirements.

Adjoining the house is a very attractive terrace with decking bordered by neatly painted railings through which to take in the far reaching views. A small flight of steps leads down to the next level with greenhouse and storage shed with an area of lawn below leading down past wonderfully stocked, colourful borders to a most idyllic seating area and access to the coastal path. This is a garden that has been landscaped extremely thoughtfully to create not only areas of interest but to make the very most of the hillside position.
