Step into a timeless slice of coastal heritage with this extraordinary five-bedroom residence in a south westerly aspect with breathtaking sunsets. Reputed to be the first house built on the south west side of the GREAT ORME, it is an architectural treasure offering uninterrupted panoramic views, a rich historic narrative, and the rarest of features, private beach access through your own underground tunnel - a magical feature few homes could ever claim at the end of which, is a beach house with electricity, requiring structural restoration but could become a fabulous guest house, studio or rental income opportunity (STP).
Built in 1897 for eminent surgeon Lawson Tait, the site had prehistoric associations and was known as Gogarths Cave. The history books tell us the cave was occupied by a family for 37 years who reared 15 children until they were evicted in 1877 to make way to quarry the stone needed for a new road around the Orme, now known as Marine Drive.
From the moment you enter, this house stirs emotion. Original detailing throughout - high ceilings, panelled doors, decorative cornicing and feature turned staircase create a sense of permanence and grandeur. The 1930s bathroom is a rare showpiece: a fully tiled turquoise retreat evoking vintage glamour. ST. PETROCKS holds scope for careful enhancement preserving its glorious era while introducing contemporary touches.
Think boutique coastal retreat or even a unique B&B, the possibilities are endless! The gardens are a coastal dream and although now in need of love and attention, the terraces were designed to capture the sun and sea air with lawns ideal for relaxing and enjoying the serene location.
ST. PETROCKS has been a much loved home and has been in the current family since 1967. It is in good structural and decorative repair. It has mains gas with central heating in the principal rooms. The property was rewired in 2002 and is also alarmed.
This isn't simply a home. It's an heirloom waiting to be revived. A haven by the sea, a home waiting for a new owner to begin their new chapter together.
