A superb wing of a stunning Victorian coastal villa situated in a tranquil wooded location with characterful accommodation, sea glimpses and beach access
Tesda - Forming a part of Binstead Hall, a stunning Victorian marine villa nestled within protected ancient woodland with grounds extending to the beach and situated in an exceptionally quiet and picturesque setting.
