Owners Insight "This apartment has been in our family since it was a brand new show flat in the mid 1990s.

We were initially attracted by the wonderful views, the convenient location, proximity to the beach and the interesting history of the building.

It was built on the site of Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s holiday home. We have spent many wonderful years at Maidencombe House.

All our children have learnt to swim in the communal pool which is maintained and heated to a lovely temperature from May until early October and we’ve all enjoyed relaxing in the well-tended gardens.

The apartment is warm and cosy in the winter months and light and airy during the summer. The view of the coastline draws compliments whenever anyone visits and friends never want to leave!

This is a reluctant sale for us, but our children are growing up and we feel it is now the right time to let someone else enjoy Maidencombe House in the same way we have done."
