Description
The Property
Ostrom House is a sizeable property of flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. While in need of modernisation and upgrading, the property offers the prospective purchaser the opportunity to create a stunning family home or holiday business, maximising the beautiful sea views from all angles (subject to appropriate consents).
The accommodation briefly comprises front aspect drawing and sitting rooms with a step from the hall leading to a dual aspect family room. From here, there are stairs to the first floor and access to a laundry room with an en suite shower room and a door to the rear garden. Dining and kitchen rooms open off the reception hall, both rear aspect. Steps from the hall lead down to a triple aspect utility room to the rear, which has a door to the rear garden.
Stairs rise from the reception hall to a generous split-level first floor landing with useful storage, a cloakroom and a separate family bathroom. It gives access to four double bedrooms. A door from the landing opens to steps down to a secondary landing, also accessible from the family room below. It opens to a rear aspect double bedroom which, together with the family, laundry and shower rooms below, offers potential for use as a self-contained annexe.
Outside
The property is approached through twin pillars over a side driveway providing private parking and giving access to a shed/garage. The garden surrounding the property is also in need of maintenance but offers the prospective purchaser the opportunity to create an attractive area maximising the views.
