Property description

The Victorians picked all the best places to build in Clevedon. When they built \"Perth Villa\" this was no exception. A FIVE STOREY HOUSE with magnificent bay windows which overhang the shoreline and offer 180 degree panoramic coastal vistas. The accommodation is quite grand with FABULOUS ROOMS which have retained so much of their Victorian heritage. There is the flexibility to create self contained flats or an annexe. The present owners have enjoyed Perth Villa as a very substantial and generous home and have hosted many parties with guests spilling out onto the terrace where you could almost reach out and touch our beautiful Pier. This fabulous location is within easy reach of a number of popular restaurants and close by in Hill Road there are a number of elegant boutique shops with attractive wine bars and a delicatessen which is thought to be one of the best in the South West. This house is worth a long drive to view.
