Saxby House is an opulent seafront residence, forming part of a premier row of grade II listed Regency properties.

Picture windows look seaward from many rooms enjoying views over Neptune's Arm and extensive views along the coastline and the Waltrop Gardens.
The current owners have sympathetically renovated the house over recent years, creating a luxurious home which is ready to move into.
Saxby House is offered for sale with a separate coach house and double garage to the rear which is accessed via Telford Street and includes a basement annexe flat under the main residence.

SEPARATE COACH HOUSE WITH DOUBLE GARAGE & ANNEXE FLAT INCLUDED...
Saxby House is an opulent seafront residence, forming part of a premier row of grade II listed Regency properties.
The property really is quite special, being the only one to feature a beautiful iron balcony sprawling across the façade. It is believed that when the property was built, it was purchased by an iron monger who then put his own stamp on the building. Picture windows look seaward from many rooms enjoying views over Neptune's Arm and extensive views along the coastline and the Waltrop Gardens.
The current owners have sympathetically renovated the house over recent years, creating a luxurious home which is ready to move into.
Saxby House is offered for sale with a separate coach house and double garage to the rear which is accessed via Telford Street and includes a basement annexe flat under the main residence.
The main house offers spacious accommodation spread over three floors offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms, three principal reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, utility/WC and an office/garden room just off the middle bedroom.
Externally the property enjoys a large south facing 'Mediterranean' style patio garden which is split into two areas. You also have access to the double garage from here.
The separate coach house (Saxby Lodge) provides a lounge, double bedroom and a kitchen. The basement flat has been tanked and renovated throughout featuring a large lounge, inner hall, stunning kitchen, luxurious shower room and a large bedroom (with borrowed light).
This really does offer an incredibly rare opportunity to own not only a very unique property on the seafront, but also further possibilities with the separate dwellings included.
