Description

House Fox Estate Agents (BoS) are delighted to market this Exceptional Detached Residence of Historical Significance in Burnham-on-Sea.

This distinguished and generously proportioned detached residence, believed to date from between 1920 & 1922, presents a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a unique piece of Burnham-on-Sea’s rich cultural heritage.

20th century playwright and novelist Ben Travers lived in the property for many years , the house received many famous visitors including Australian cricketer Sir Donald Bradman and Noel Coward , many of the visitors inscribed messages in the walls sadly since covered up. Travers added a magnificent panelled games/ party room to house his billiards table , which he donated to Burnham and Berrow Golf Club when he sold Hillam in the early 1950 ‘s .

Our vendors during their ownership have carried out a stunning, detailed and sympathetic refurbishment with the 2022 updated kitchen/breakfast room being a stand-out feature and the property is offered in truly immaculate order throughout.

Offering spacious and flexible accommodation the internal accommodation is highly versatile and lends itself to a variety of lifestyles. Currently configured with four reception rooms (including a magnificent formal reception room - ideal for entertaining) and five first floor double bedrooms with the potential to create sub-division to offer annexe potential.

Set within a sizeable and mature plot, the grounds are adorned with well-established trees and shrubs, affording a sense of privacy and seclusion. An outdoor swimming pool adds to the appeal, offering leisure and relaxation in the heart of the garden. To the front driveway parking for at least five vehicles plus to the rear a double garage.

The residence is enviably positioned on what is widely regarded as one of Burnham-on-Sea’s most prestigious and desirable roads. It lies approximately one-third of a mile from the vibrant town centre, where a comprehensive range of amenities can be found. Furthermore, the property enjoys close proximity to a variety of local attractions and facilities, including the fabulous beach (four minutes level walk) renowned championship golf links, a well-established tennis club, and the popular indoor swimming and sports academy.

This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a landmark home that combines history, charm, and flexibility in a prime coastal setting and an early viewing is strongly advised by the vendor's appointed agents to avoid disappointment.
