Spread beautifully over three floors, it blends original historic grandeur with a calm, contemporary aesthetic.
Your Space, Floor by Floor: Ground Floor: Step through your front door into a wonderfully social space. The sleek kitchen and dining area is fully equipped for everything from a quick breakfast to a lavish dinner, flowing seamlessly into a wonderfully cozy snug—perfect for curling up with a glass of wine or a good book.
First Floor: The undeniable star of the home is the magnificent original granite staircase. As you ascend, it guides you to the main living room: a bright, airy, and deeply zen space. Designed to be a warm, inviting sanctuary, it’s the perfect place to stretch out and completely unwind after a day exploring the coast.
Second Floor & Mezzanine: The top floors are dedicated to rest and relaxation. The striking master bedroom showcases amazing original architectural beams, adding instant character. It features a luxury walk-in wardrobe and a sleek en-suite with a spacious walk-in shower. Need to check in on things? A cleverly designed mezzanine level sits above the bedroom, offering a quiet, secluded workspace with inspiring views.
The Outside: Take advantage of your own designated parking bay—a rare luxury in the Yard! Just outside your door, a charming bistro table and chairs await, perfectly positioned for alfresco morning coffees or sunset G&Ts whilst soaking up the historic atmosphere.
Whether it’s a romantic getaway or a stylish workcation, this is a stay you won't forget.
