The current owners have spent much time and attention attempting to restore its 1960s cool credentials, whilst ensuring it remains suitable for contemporary living. Overall, an unfussy and minimalist aesthetic has been achieved through the likes of lime rendered walls and doorways shorn of architrave within the main living spaces. These features offer a natural, and relaxing element to the overall interior.
A word from he current owners: "We fell head over heels with the house on first sight as it reminded us of the types of properties which prevail in Palm Springs, California. It's an architectural gem, and it is truly deserving of its seaside location. The property had become somewhat muddled in its style over the years under previous ownership, so we sought to return the fun back to it. It's been an absolute joy to call his place our home. We hope that someone else can fall in love with it all over again and enjoy it for years to come".
