Description - We are delighted to be able offer an extremely rare opportunity to purchase a piece of Burnham-on-Sea history with this highly versatile property that we understand has origins from the late 1800's.
The building is one of four interlinked buildings which is said to have been modelled upon ships of the period.
It is said that the original owner was a retired sea captain and that he had four daughters, the story goes, were ever quarrelling so he devised a building which, while bearing in mind their filial bonds, ensured that each of them could enjoy the maximum of privacy.
This attractive property is set over three storeys, has been reconfigured to facilitate the needs of the existing owner and when the property was purchased we understand it had five/six bedrooms which have now been reduced for the current owners personal requirements. However should it be required the accommodation could be remodelled.
The property has a beautifully maintained garden, vegetable garden opening onto a superb additional garden area with seating enjoying a superb aspect over Burnham beach with private steps leading down to the miles of sandy beach.
