18 Harepath Road is a substantial and well-presented mid-terrace Victorian cottage, situated within easy walking distance of the town centre, seafront and local amenities.

Overall, the property offers a well considered blend of character and modern living, with a particularly impressive extended living space and must be viewed internally to fully appreciate the quality and space on offer.

The improvements have been thoughtfully carried out, successfully combining modern features with the retained character of the original property.

Contemporary touches such as electric Bluetooth-controlled radiators have also been introduced, while original features including parquet flooring and fireplaces have been carefully preserved.

This is a well-proportioned and welcoming space, featuring original polished parquet flooring and a fireplace with inset wood-burning stove, creating an attractive focal point.
