Hoop & Griffin is located on the edge of the Conservation area with stunning views over the English Channel. It is a three-storey townhouse dating back nearly 200 years and was originally the residential/sleeping quarters of an old Coaching Inn known as the Hoop & Griffin which occupied a large plot on the corner. In later years it was used as a Seamans Rest house but has now been converted into a fabulous home which would suit a family or a group of friends.
This house is very well located for all the local amenities such as shops, pubs and restaurants as well as being literally a stone's throw from the beach.
The accommodation is very versatile. On the ground floor you enter the house going straight into the dining room which comfortably seats 8 with double doors out to a small courtyard. Through a stable door on the left is the kitchen which is well equipped with everything you require and on the other side is the main sitting room with a gas effect fire, large TV and DVD player and again views out to sea. 1 double bedroom on the top floor overlooking the sea with an inter-connecting shower room to a twin room. In the twin room, both beds have a pull out guest bed underneath and this room could comfortably sleep 3 people. Extra bedding is available for these beds if required. On the first floor there is the main bathroom with a bath and shower attachment and a second sitting room, with views over the Channel leading, through to another good sized bedroom/reception room. This room has 2 beds, which can either be made up as 2 singles or a double bed. It also has access to the outside roof terrace with loungers which is a real sun trap in the afternoons.
Full of character, Hoop & Griffin is a wonderfully quirky property that shows its age in all the right ways, with steep, characterful stairs and plenty of period charm throughout. Facing the sea, it's the kind of place where you can watch the water from your window.
