About this property

Dating back to 1907 and enviably positioned on the seaside end of St. Swithin's Road, this substantial five-bedroom link-detached house really does surprise with how large it is in person, all just moments from the seafront in Tankerton.

An inviting entrance hall sets the tone, leading to a cosy separate lounge at the front, while to the rear the home opens into a sociable, semi open-plan living room, dining area and kitchen, ideal for modern family life.
