Property description
Vendors Introduction
We have loved living in this fantastic family home, the space works really well with loads of room for our growing family. The location is brilliant, a short walk to the station, handy for the town, and best of all we can be on the beach in 2 minutes to watch the sunset, spend a summer afternoon or enjoy a bracing winter walk.
Harvey Richards & West are delighted to offer for sale this absolutely stunning five bedroom arts and crafts detached house located on very sought after Tankerton Road. Just under 150 metres from the seafront and benefiting from its close proximity to a variety of shops, highly regarded schools, and the bus route, this house really does have a lot to offer.
