The Ridge West, St. Leonards-on-sea, TN37

A unique opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed semi detached cottage. Originally known as the 100's Inn, a coaching house that served the Ridge area, the property later became the Gatehouse to the Beauport Estate before being converted to the present form in around 1790/1800 by Beauports second owners Sir Charles Lamb & Mary Montgomarie. Their Baroncy crest is still seen on the side of the property to this day.
Today, this surprisingly spacious 'picture postcard' cottage enjoys the benefit of a large rear garden, and has character charm in abundance! With tiled floors, exposed beams, latch doors and a fire place with wood burner. The property enjoys 2 double bedrooms, a cosy lounge/dining room, well kept kitchen, modern bathroom/shower room and is installed with gas fired central heating. The property further benefits from the aforementioned large rear garden which has now been enhanced with the erection of a large timer built outbuilding/summer house and we understand there is planning permission in place for the building of a conservatory and a double garage if desired. We cannot emphasize strongly enough he need for a personal and early inspection of the is rarely available property. CHAIN FREE!
