General Description

The Cottage forms part of a small coastal hamlet and was built in the mid-nineteenth century from local stone and would have originally housed farm workers. Lovingly updated over the years, the property now offers a new owner the opportunity to acquire a very comfortable period cottage with simply breathtaking sea views. The house would make a wonderful permanent residence, an ideal escape or as a holiday let. The cottage is approached through double timber gates onto a drive providing off-street parking. A path leads up to the front door which opens into a vestibule, with an inner glazed door opening into the hall. The hall has a staircase rising to the first-floor mezzanine, an understairs cupboard, a further storage cupboard and a cupboard housing the hot water tank. The sitting room is to the front of the cottage with a window offering countryside and sea views with working timber shutters. The room has plenty of natural light with an additional Velux window and a window on the gable end. There is a feature open fireplace with a brick hearth and timber surround and mantle, perfect for cosy winter evenings. Double part-glazed doors lead from the sitting room into the kitchen-diner which is at the rear of the property. The kitchen has a ceramic tiled floor and is fitted with a range of country-style floor and wall-mounted units with countertops over and integral appliances including an electric oven and hob with extractor over, fridge and freezer and a dishwasher. To the rear of the kitchen is a small utility area with a door leading out into the garden and there is plumbing for a washing machine. The ceramic floor in the kitchen flows into the dining area and into the large conservatory which is to the side of the house, a lovely bright area in which to relax and enjoy the sea views and views over the garden. There is a large double bedroom with a window to the front of the cottage with working shutters and sea views and it has an open fireplace with timber mantle and surround and a stone hearth. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the family bathroom, comprising a bath with electric shower over, WC and hand basin. The bathroom has a ceramic tiled floor and timber panelling. From the hall, a staircase rises to a delightful mezzanine floor with a dormer window to the front affording spectacular sea views and there is a Velux window to the rear with views over the surrounding countryside. This floor is open to the sitting room beneath and has been used by the current owner as an occasional guest bedroom, study and lounge.

EXTERIOR

To the front of the cottage, there is a hedge enclosing a small area of garden and a driveway providing secure off-street parking behind double timber gates. To the side and rear of the cottage are beautifully maintained landscaped gardens which include a wide variety of mature trees, plants and shrubs with an area of lawn, a pond, two patios for relaxing and alfresco entertaining, a summerhouse, a large greenhouse and a log store. The open views of the sea and the surrounding countryside from the garden are very special and one would never tire of the everchanging sea and horizon.
