Bathroom: Bath With Shower Over, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet. This former, Victorian, cliff top manor house was originally built over 100 years ago for the Lord Mayor of London, Sir James Thomson Ritchie. The grand property then had many other purposes including a school and a hotel, before it was sympathetically renovated to create an impressive mock Georgian manor house, split into apartments. Each apartment benefits from oak furnishings, as well as sumptuous leather sofas, well-equipped kitchens with granite work tops and contemporary appliances. There is also use of a shared garden where you can enjoy open views over the surrounding coast, town and countryside.
