THE VENDOR'S VIEW This house has been our family home for 20+ years and we have loved it as a great place to bring up our children. We trust that the future purchasers will enjoy it as much as we have.
When we purchased this property in 1999, the first floor was in use as an old people's home, with a separated flat on the top floor and bedsit at the rear. With a lot of hard work ourselves and the help of several skilled local craftsmen, we have loving restored the property to a wonderful family home.
Local builder Edward Tuddenham started building the house in 1893 and finished two years later. We are the 10th owners of this property over the last 120 years. During the First World War, this house was in the ownership of the local Catholic priest and was used by the local nuns as a base for the convent school whilst the convent on the hill was in use by the army. A previous owner of the house informed us that the beautiful balustrade was recovered from the royal yacht Osbourne when it was scrapped in a local harbour at the end of the 19th Century.
The stained glass windows (which was one of the things we loved when we first visited the property) have been lovingly restored along with two large original cast iron 'Star of David' skylights that feature in the kitchen ceiling. The house is light and airy and we have found that it is ideally placed for the beach, town & train station.
The 23' long kitchen features custom oak units which were made for us to our design locally by the Craft Workshop. These units sit beneath lovely granite work surfaces from Marble Works, Ipswich.
The rear-most reception room has sound insulation and triple glazing.
