The Gables is a characterful traditional 3 bedroom home situated in one of the UK's most picturesque seaside locations with views towards the May Isle from the upper bedroom. Our home is situated over 3 floors and sleeps up to 5 people in 3 beautiful furnished bedrooms. Accessed via the entrance stair with storage cupboard and a few steps leading to the first floor. The living room is complete with cornice and marble fireplace which has a dual aspect and attractive vistas of the historic high street. The kitchen is well equipped and has an ornamental period fireplace and room for the dining room. The master bedroom to the rear has a period fireplace and press cupboard. The second floor has two further bedrooms, one with stunning elevated views over the roof tops towards May Isle. The bathroom is a three piece suite with bath shower and eaves storage cupboard for housing the laundry. We do request that dogs are not allowed into the upstairs bedrooms.
