Regency House

Regency House is an elegant property in a prominent position overlooking St Mary’s Church with original features throughout that is now in need of complete renovation. The property is also known as St Mary’s Cottages or Church Cottages. The front entrance is accessed via a decked terrace, with additional street access to the lower ground floor from Hastings Road to the side of the property that may at one time have been used for retail purposes.

The lobby leads through to the kitchen and bay window over-looking St Mary’s, and also through to the double aspect sitting room and dining room to the right. From the sitting room, stairs lead down to the lower ground floor to the store room with street access to Hastings Road as mentioned above. A door from the store room leads through to the utility / laundry room with modern boiler that appears to be maintained and in working order (not checked or tested), sink area and cloakroom. There is a further access door to an enclosed courtyard below the decked terrace that wraps around to the side of the property.

Stairs up from the sitting room lead to the first floor with two generous bedrooms, landing cupboard and family bathroom, and from the landing stairs lead up again to the second floor with a further two generous bedrooms.
It should be noted the roof was replaced in recent years in coordination with the owners of the neighbouring property.
