It wasn’t always two apartments. This was originally a house in the 1930s and according to the agent, the separate dwellings ‘could easily be reverted back to a family home if required’. It would be nice to think of that happening.

As for space, the ground floor, known as Captains Deck, is a one double bedroom apartment, while the first and second floor is Captains Lookout, a two double bedroom apartment. As well as the bedroom space, each obviously has its own kitchen and bathroom areas within the flats.
