Add to that a stylish modern interior plus a convenient location just minutes from the beach and town centre and you’ve got the perfect backdrop for your stay in this popular seaside borough.The Eastern Residences, as the complex is now known, is a charming mix of contemporary living with the historic grandeur of the original sandstone building. There’s a sense of spaciousness with large windows flooding light in and emphasized by the use of a mezzanine level for the 2 double bedrooms upstairs (clever use of glass means there’s no noise issue from the living area though!). Plus, there’s a feeling of luxury coastal retreat thanks to the stylish décor choices.On the ground floor there’s a large open plan living area with comfortable sofas, a dining table for 6, and a high quality modern kitchen which is fully equipped. There’s also a large pantry area and a useful utility room (ideal for storing those golf clubs perhaps?). The bathroom on the ground level is has both a bath and a shower and there’s another shower room upstairs for convenience. There’s even a desk area at the top of the stairs if you need to do a spot of correspondence while you’re here, like writing your postcards! The development is beautifully maintained and offers private allocated parking for two vehicles, plus guest parking, a covered bike store, drying area and well maintained gardens.
