This fantastic, cosy Fisherman’s cottage has been lovingly designed with a delicate blend of old and new. Stone-flagged flooring greets you in the charming lounge, where a woodburner sits to one side in an exposed brick wall, adding character and a cosy ambience. Sink into the plush L-shaped sofa and switch on the TV after a day of activities. Arched doorways lead into a separate dining space, complete with a skylight that lets in heaps of natural light. Next to it, the kitchen is quirky and original, featuring retro appliances and an electric AGA. Take the open-tread staircase up to the first floor when it’s time to retire, where you’ll find two bedrooms and a refreshing family bathroom. The larger of the bedrooms is a king-size room boasting twinkling sea views, while the second is an equally appealing double. Up in the attic, tucked beneath the rafters, a second snug area offers space for children to hang out, complete with an additional TV, desk and soft chairs.
When the sun shines, step through the French doors in the dining area to reach the rear patio. This tiered space features outdoor seating enclosed by mature flora, encouraging you to enjoy a breath of fresh air. Unallocated parking is available on the street at the front of the property.
