Architect JE Maynard, built c1928. Maynard designed another house 400m away at No.58 South Cliff (Saxons) built in 1935 which is in the very different modern-movement style. It was listed Grade II by English Heritage in 1998[1].
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) 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.
