A well preserved and beautifully crafted pair of semi-detached Edwardian houses built soon after the road was laid out in 1905. They have prominent half-timbered gables above double-height bay windows, fine red clay tile-hung upper elevations, smaller half-timbered gables over the recessed porches and timber sash windows.
San Mirail is one of only a few precious remaining Spanish-inspired villas in Bexhill (see also [[La Casa Blanca, 13 Elmstead Road]] and [[Cordova, 63 South Cliff]]), it was built in c1928, and is a very good example of this genre with roundel turrets and a red clay pantile roof. The five bedroom residence has five bedrooms, a grand galleried reception hall, drawing room, dining room and sun terraces to the rear. The villa is set within nearly 0.3 acres of Mediterranean-inspired, south facing gardens.
