Seafront, Hayling Island

Viewing is recommended with this exceptionally spacious 1st floor apartment, set within this most attractive Grade 2 listed building, which was originally built as the Royal Hotel and converted into luxury Seafront apartments around 1998. The building still retains many of its original features including high ceilings and sash cord windows. Another feature is its very large wrought iron south facing balcony, offering superb open views over the Solent and Isle of Wight. Hayling Island Golf Club, Sailing Club and the Marina are just a short drive away.
