DescriptionOccupying a commanding position along the highly regarded Clifton Terrace, Clifton House is an elegant coastal residence that has remained in the same ownership for over 50 years.

Large bay windows in both reception rooms perfectly frame the spectacular coastal outlook whilst flooding the interiors with natural light, creating wonderfully bright living spaces that make the very most of this exceptional setting.
The accommodation is generously proportioned throughout, retaining much of its original character and charm whilst offering exciting scope for sympathetic modernisation to create a magnificent coastal home tailored to modern living.
At the heart of the house, the dining room connects seamlessly with the kitchen, whilst the two elegant reception rooms provide superb spaces for both entertaining and relaxing, each enjoying uninterrupted sea views through attractive bay windows.
With a ground floor bedroom and shower room, and four further bedrooms within Clifton House are arranged across the first floor, with the principal bedroom benefiting from some of the finest views in the property, stretching across the village and out over Gerrans Bay towards the open sea.
KinpolAdjoining Clifton House is Kinpol, a self-contained two-bedroom bungalow that offers exceptional flexibility. Ideal as independent guest accommodation, accommodation for a dependant relative, a holiday let (subject to any necessary consents), or simply incorporated into the principal residence to create an even larger family home, Kinpol significantly enhances the versatility and appeal of this unique property.
OutsideThe gardens are a particularly attractive feature of the property. To the front, enclosed landscaped gardens enjoy magnificent south-facing views across Gerrans Bay, providing the perfect setting from which to watch the ever-changing activity on the water. Between Clifton House and Kinpol lies a beautiful enclosed courtyard, creating a wonderfully private and sheltered outdoor entertaining space, ideal for alfresco dining and family gatherings throughout the warmer months. Beyond, mature rear gardens provide further areas of privacy and colour, whilst the unusual advantage of parking both to the front and rear is a highly prized feature within this sought-after coastal village.
