About
Flat 1,26 Downs View offers a rare combination of period character, natural light and an enviable coastal position, all within an easy walk of Crooklets Beach, the town centre and amenities.
Occupying the ground floor, the apartment feels practical and welcoming, with a communal porch and entrance hall leading to well-arranged accommodation.
The south facing lounge diner is an appealing room, centred around a bright bay window that draws in the light and makes the most of the outlook across the golf course.
A Victorian style kitchen range fireplace adds character and gives the room a strong focal point.
The galley kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, with under counter space for appliances and a separate area for utilities.
All three bedrooms include built in storage, helping the property feel organised and easy to use.
Bedroom three also features a fireplace and has a door opening to the rear, providing direct access towards the allocated parking space.
