DESCRIPTION
4 Nailzee House comprises a ground floor apartment (1 of 6), available on the open market for the first time in 20 years and in an exclusive residential setting with uninterrupted sea views across Looe Bay and the broad sweep of Whitsand Bay with the iconic landmark of Rame Head and the Eddystone Lighthouse visible on the horizon.

The property has recently been refurbished, benefitting from full double glazing and mains gas central heating and is found to be presented to a contemporary standard throughout. Currently configured as a spacious one bedroom apartment it could easily revert back to two bedrooms at a cost of about £3,000 plus VAT – this can be demonstrated at the time of viewing.

In addition there is a very useful Utility Room/Store accessed from the Entrance Lobby area.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached over a shared courtyard with parking for 1 car (1 space available for visitors) and leading to the 136 sq ft Garage/Store (suitable for a small car only). From the parking bay a short flight of gentle steps lead down to the front entrance door.

Immediately adjacent to and running along the entire frontage there is a private sea facing paved terrace providing ample space for al fresco dining and enjoying the super sea views.

Beyond the private terrace there is a further communal paved terrace and lawn with established shrub and flower beds. A gate in the garden provides pedestrian access to Marine Drive and quick access to the waterfront and promenade.
