The Retreat is situated towards the eastern end of Undercliff Drive, a short distance from the dead end on the road, making this a quiet residential location with very little passing traffic. The area was affected by a landslip in 2023 and as a result, the Retreat and other neighbouring properties suffered some movement and structural damage. The structural movement is particularly noticeable at the rear of the property where the vehicular access has become all but impassable for vehicles and unfortunately the current owners car has been marooned as a result. While the Retreat has suffered some movement, the property was occupied by the current owners until May 2025 when a change in life circumstances has caused them to move on. While prospective purchasers may wish to consider that repair and restoration of the building, others may consider that it is perfectly suitable as is for use by an owner occupier or perhaps as a holiday home or weekend retreat or potentially with some upgrading as a commercial holiday let. While the majority of the living accommodation is across a single floor, there is also an attic room which in addition to providing useful storage has also been utilised as a bedroom for visiting children. On the lower level, is a significant 'man cave' utilised by the current owners and which provides additional very useful space. The Retreat is sited on a good sized plot with a mature garden to the rear. Some pruning of the rear trees/hedge line would further enhance the views of the English Channel which are available from the property. Ground Floor Entrance hall, living room, kitchen, three bedrooms and bathroom with W.C. First Floor Attic room. Lower Ground Floor 'Man cave' fitted out as a workshop and hobby room. Outside Garage, gardens to front and rear. Auctioneer's Note There is a rear access to the property an this previously included vehicular access. As stated in the body of the sale particulars, the 2023 landslip has made vehicular access impossible for traditional motor vehicles and without remedial works, the rear access is at present for pedestrians only. EPC Rating To be confirmed. Council Tax Band C Freehold with Vacant Possession
