Arden St House

Arden Street House was built in the 1930's by a Scottish sea captain and the house reflects his influence with beautiful stained glass windows depicting sea themes. The era of art deco is visable throughout the house with pretty and characterfull ceilings in some rooms, leadlights oak panelling and picture rails.

Your host Joyce Lepperd, her family and cat enjoy travellers' stories in the quiet comfortable and quirky home.
