Spacious home containing a sense of the historical

YOU don’t see how old this house is until you hit the basement. Looking all very Edwardian and with bright, sunny reception rooms, you’d give the house a date in the early 1900’s.

Oak panelling in the hallways and Art Noveau fireplaces add to the impression but Stenton, at number 4, Marine Villas goes all the way back to the 1830's.

Originally, Stenton was a much smaller house than it is now, but during its occupation by the Harte family, who owned a timber yard on Sharman Crawford Street, it was considerably extended.
