Clavering Walk, Bexhill-on-Sea, TN39

Greystones is a truly individual Edwardian residence of considerable character and architectural interest, retaining an abundance of original features including beautiful wood panelling, original doors with traditional door furniture and an impressive bespoke staircase with elegant balustrading. The property also enjoys an intriguing reported historical association with Alice Keppel, the celebrated Edwardian society figure and companion of King Edward VII. Accounts associated with the property suggest that Greystones may have been built for her during the King’s reign, although this connection remains unverified.

The exceptionally generous accommodation begins with an entrance lobby leading into an impressive reception hallway, where the original architectural detailing immediately establishes the character of this remarkable home. An elegant double-aspect sitting room opens into a delightful sunroom with French doors to the gardens, whilst sliding doors connect to a substantial study/library. A separate office provides an ideal home-working space, complemented by a utility room and excellent storage facilities.

The magnificent kitchen/breakfast room extends to approximately 31 feet and offers tremendous potential to create a spectacular contemporary living space and enjoys French doors opening onto the gardens, whilst an inner lobby, further WC and walk-in storeroom complete the ground-floor accommodation. The impressive staircase rises to a spacious first-floor landing, providing access to four generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a substantial -suite bathroom, whilst the second bedroom enjoys its own en-suite and access to an additional loft room and extensive boarded loft space. Two further double bedrooms, both with fitted storage, are served by a family bathroom. Throughout, the generous proportions, original craftsmanship and wealth of natural light provide an exceptional foundation for sympathetic restoration. Whilst requiring modernisation, Greystones offers a wonderful opportunity to create an outstanding family home.

Further benefits include gas central heating served by a recently installed boiler and additional air conditioning to the kitchen, lounge and principal bedroom. COUNCIL TAX BAND G - £4506.04
