About

The Clarence

Built at the height of the Edwardian era, this grand home was created for those seeking beauty, air and quiet away from the town below. More than a century later, it remains a place of refinement, where timeless architecture meets contemporary comfort.

Step through its original glazed door and into a home of soaring ceilings, oak floors, and bay windows that flood every room with natural light. The formal sitting rooms are warm and welcoming, while the kitchen, the heart of the house, is a generous, light-filled space designed for family gatherings.
