ABOUT NORTH VIEW
North View is very quirky with its never ending hallways and unusually shaped rooms. It dates back to the 1880s when it was run by nuns and called St Saviours Grange, although it has seen much modernising since this time. It is the site of the second windmill in the area (Bay Windmill), which was knocked down at the time of the building of St Saviours Grange. Rumours suggest that the agreement was to have part of the windmill incorporated into the house. The second windmill to the area still stands and is located in the village of Herne.

The house benefits from wooden double glazed sash windows and a log burner, so can be enjoyed all year round. There is wifi accessible throughout the house.

There is parking on the sea front adjacent to the house and to the rear of the property. There is free parking outside the controlled zone a few minutes walk from the property. The rear garden gate leads to the parking area and also leads directly into the town centre.
