Property description
Dillon House is a historic seafront residence (Grade II Listed) that forms part of a prestigious and local landmark terrace fronting onto a delightful Georgian lawn. With just over 2800 square feet of accommodation, this handsome property offers a lot more than initially meets the eye. Arranged over four floors, the property offers superior sized accommodation with all rooms of elegant proportions offering five bedrooms, three reception rooms, study, three bathrooms and two separate toilets. Picture windows look seaward from most rooms enjoying what proves to be an ever changing seaside story.
