Description

This stunning Grade II listed, three storey town house is a stone's throw from the beach and enjoys sea views from all floors. It is in a favoured location within easy walking distance of St Leonards seafront and promenade. West Ascent is the perfect base for family holidays or couples' getaways, offering 4 double bedrooms and 2 modern bathrooms over the top two floors. On the ground floor you will find a spacious and comfortable drawing room with sea views through the large picture window and an adjoining dining room overlooking the courtyard garden.  In the basement there is a large and bright, fully equipped kitchen with a kitchen table where everyone can sit and chat and catch up on the day's activities.  There is also a cinema room with a projector and screen and a shower/utility room.  

This James Burton designed house, which was a Regency experiment to create 'Bloomsbury by the sea', boasts many original features and has a grand bay window in the drawing room and a wonderfully preserved pencil sketch by the novelist Robert Tressell, who wrote The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropist. The property is close to the trendy hub of Norman Road with artisan shops, local eateries and galleries and within a hundred yards of St Leonards Gardens with its landscaped lawns and feature ponds.  Warrior Square mainline railway station is also within a convenient distance if you don't want to bring your car.  This spacious and stylish property will make the perfect base to explore the local area along the Sussex coast and into the countryside and beyond.  Shop: 0.5 yards    Pub: 0.5 yards   Coast: 0 yards

Reviews

We had a lovely weekend at the house, cosy in front of the fire while a wild winter storm blew outside. The location is fabulous and the housekeeper and owner were incredibly helpful and accommodating in the lead up to and during our stay. We enjoyed some lovely local restaurants and coffee shops and also family meals around the kitchen table in front of the wood burner. The cinema room was a winner with the teenagers! The house is a lovely mix of elegant style and relaxed comfort making it the ideal getaway.

Mrs S,

Nicely situated with good sized rooms, comfortable seating and beds.

Mr W,

Spacious, comfortable and well situated.

Ms S,

We had a wonderful time. The spacious property was perfect for a three generation family break between Christmas and New Year. The Christmas decorations in the lounge were great and added a good atmosphere. The location was excellent, so close to the beach. The house is very spacious which allowed room for us all to be together or spend time apart! The beds were incredibly comfortable too. The only thing that fell short was the weather - not that you’re responsible for that! Thank you

Mrs H,
