Description

The Great Hall is immersed in local history as the grand former dining hall of the Royal Merchant Seamen's Orphanage dating back to 1866. Aligned with the building's notable links, the featured vaulted ceiling design is based upon the hull of an upturned ship.

Constructed in characteristic Victorian Venetian-Gothic style with intricate stonemasonry and stained-glass windows, this exceptional property offers extraordinary character accommodation complemented by a first-class location.

Upon entrance to the apartment there is a small reception area opening into the main hall which offers flexible living spaces; currently arranged as a living room, grand piano space, dining room and office.

The main hall features a staircase that ascends to the primary bedroom, which traverses the length of the hall whilst showcasing a mezzanine balcony overlooking the hall.

The main hall exhibits an impressive stone archway which precedes to a snug with a further entrance leading to the kitchen comprising a range of fitted cupboards, space for fridge freezer, with cooking range, and double sink. There is an accessible loft space located above the kitchen.

The snug features a staircase descending to a lower floor where a hallway and bathroom are located. This hallway has an additional staircase which descends to a further bedroom and ensuite bathroom.
