Sea Chest is a beautifully presented coastal apartment that blends character with practical modern living. Entering through the front door, you are welcomed by a useful area for coats and shoes. Steps then lead you up into the main body of the home.
The heart of the property is the open-plan living space, which immediately impresses with its restored exposed beams and a striking stone feature wall that adds warmth and texture. This is a sociable, light-filled area with room to relax and dine. A built-in cupboard provides valuable storage. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of wall and base units and includes integrated appliances for a streamlined finish. Just beside the kitchen, a sliding ladder gives access to a clever storage area above, ideal for paddle boards and beach gear — perfectly suited to the home’s seaside location.
A door from the living space leads to the bedroom accommodation, where there are three generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom featuring both a bath and a walk-in shower. There is also a practical cupboard set up as a utility area, currently housing the washing machine.
Sea Chest has been thoughtfully and imaginatively converted by the current owners to maximise space, character and usability.
In addition to being a wonderful private retreat, the apartment has also operated as a successful holiday let, demonstrating its appeal and income potential. However, the true highlight is its exceptional position — just a couple of steps from the water — offering an enviable coastal lifestyle and making this a standout home by the shore.
