3 Seaview Terrace is a distinguished three-storey-over-basement period residence, designed by the renowned architect John Semple in the 1830s. This elegant home, set on approximately 0.30 acres of secluded southwest-facing gardens, offers an impressive 470 m² (5,060 ft²) of accommodation. The property has been well maintained to preserve its original Georgian features, including high ceilings, intricate cornicing, marble fireplaces, and tall sash windows with shutters, but would now benefit from some modernisation and refurbishment.
