About
Description Shearwater Guest House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained Victorian terraced property, currently operating as a successful guest house.

Internally, the guest house offers seven individually styled guest letting rooms, each featuring its own en-suite and tastefully decorated with a mix of traditional and contemporary influences.
Many rooms include attractive features such as original fireplaces, high ceilings with decorative plasterwork, and large sash windows offering pleasant views and ample natural light.
The accommodation is spacious and well-planned, with all rooms furnished to a high standard and equipped to meet modern guest expectations.

To the rear of the property, the private owner’s accommodation is set across two floors and includes two bedrooms, a comfortable living room, and a separate dining area.
This space provides a peaceful retreat from the main guest areas and also offers private access to the garden, making it ideal for live-in proprietors or as a flexible private residence.
Externally, the property continues to impress. A well-maintained courtyard garden to the rear offers space for outdoor seating and storage, with mature plants adding privacy and colour.
The front garden, bordered by a low brick wall, is neatly landscaped and provides a warm welcome to arriving guests.
