Homebuyers will get the chance to sample peaceful seaside living in Pembrokeshire this summer when the home of local artist Sylvia Howells goes up for auction on July 30.
The four-storey semi-detached townhouse, located on the sea-front in the small, picturesque, seaside village of Saundersfoot, is expected to sell for anywhere between £400,000-£450,000 and features superb views of the south Pembrokeshire coast, looking across the harbour and bay towards the Gower coast from its beachside position.
The lucky owner will also have their own slice of the seaside as the plot includes a small area of beach, as well as direct access to the rest of the beach with a patio at the end of the garden overlooking it, and their own parking space.
The property is being sold by Sylvia Howells's family, a well-known local artist who was renowned for donating her earnings from her paintings to charity, and some of Sylvia's work is still currently on display in the house, as well as her studio in the garden.
The townhouse features a self contained basement with separate access which includes a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and open-plan living room. The ground floor features a large lounge overlooking the seafront and a kitchen, while the first floor features a master bedroom, second bedroom and bathroom, all with beach and sea views. The second floor includes three more bedrooms, two of which overlook the bay.
Nigel Jones, director of John Francis, said: "Not only does this property boast fantastic views of the bay, looking across the stretch of beach for miles, but it is unique in the sense that not many properties on the seafront have their own parking space.
"It is also a special property because of the history surrounding the place. Sylvia Howells is a well- known artist locally and her work is still displayed in this property which we are selling for her daughter Carol. "This is a fabulous location which will give buyers a chance to sample seaside living this summer and, what's more, the winning bidder can move in by August.
"This is a fantastic opportunity as you don't need to travel abroad to have your own seaside holiday - it's quite literally on your doorstep! "The property has a self contained basement with separate access which easily lends itself to those who wish to buy to let, while the other three storeys offer flexible, spacious living, so we expect a strong take-up from growing families and those looking for their second home."
The property goes up for auction on July 30 at the Ivy Bush Hotel in Carmarthen. For more information, call 01834 842859 or visit http://www.johnfrancis.co.uk">www.johnfrancis.co.uk
