Top Flat, Seawood Place lives up to its name - a bright and spacious top-floor 2 Bedroom Apartment set within an impressive stone-built detached residence dating back to 1857. The property has plenty to offer, but its standout feature is undoubtedly the breathtaking, ever-changing panoramic views over Morecambe Bay and the distant fells.The Apartment's generously sized, light-filled rooms with large windows add to its appeal, as does its private and peaceful setting. Adding to the charm, planning permission has previously been passed to add a balcony off the Hallway - the perfect spot to take full advantage of the tranquillity and the stunning vistas.Tucked away along a little-known private lane and within walking distance of the Edwardian promenade and Kents Bank railway station, this exceptional home truly offers the best of both worlds.
