A beautifully presented Grade II listed cottage, full of character and charm, set in a wonderful location along a country lane leading to the sea wall and nature reserve. This unique home includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms and four reception rooms, along with a private cottage garden, excellent parking and the benefit of a double garage.
The front door opens to a porch which leads into a characterful entrance hall with a wood-burning stove. The original, narrow staircase at the front of the house leads up to the main bedroom suite, while a second staircase gives access to the rest of the first floor. The living room is full of character with its double aspect, beamed ceiling and another wood-burning stove. The dining room also features beams and a charming fireplace. A study at the front of the house offers direct outside access, ideal for working from home. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with wooden cabinetry, integrated appliances, exposed brickwork and beams and has French doors to a patio area. A door from the kitchen leads into a utility/laundry room with space for appliances and a cloakroom with WC. From here, another door opens into a conservatory, currently used as a dining space, with a further door into a brick-built store room.
Upstairs, the main bedroom has its own landing accessed via the original staircase and benefits from an en suite shower room. There is also a further double bedroom, a single bedroom and a well-appointed main bathroom.
Outside, the property is approached via a generous driveway with space for several vehicles and potentially a boat or caravan. A gate leads to a private courtyard area with a shed. The detached double garage also includes a garden store and WC. The cottage garden is a particular highlight, with a lawn, mature planting and several seating areas including a secluded patio tucked to one side. There is also a further patio outside the conservatory. To the other side of the cottage is another patio area which opens off the kitchen. This is a truly special home, offering period charm, a versatile layout and a coastal setting.
