Sea Thatch is a Grade II listed thatched cottage dating from the early 1700s, set on the frontline in the village of Beesands with direct access to the South West Coast Path. The house offers four double bedrooms, each with an en suite, well-proportioned living rooms, and dual courtyard spaces plus a rear garden — a rare combination of character and practical outdoor space within a short stroll of the beach and village pubs.
Interiors balance period features such as exposed beams and original details with contemporary fittings; the principal bedroom enjoys sea views and a spacious en suite with freestanding bath. The layout is flexible — one bedroom suite currently doubles as a second living room — making the property suitable as a main residence, a lock-up-and-leave coastal bolt-hole, or an income-producing holiday let.
Buyers should note the house’s listed status and thatched roof. Listing will restrict alterations and may complicate works or consenting; thatch also requires specialist maintenance and can affect insurance costs. The property uses oil-fired central heating (boiler and radiators) and has double glazing installed before 2002; cavity walls appear uninsulated, and the EPC is D (current 63, potential 64).
Practical points: the sale is chain-free and the location benefits from excellent mobile signal and low local crime, but broadband speeds are average and council tax is band F (expensive). Parking is on-street immediately outside with additional spaces nearby. For buyers seeking seaside character with immediate access to coastal walks, this is a turn-key opportunity — provided they accept the upkeep and consent limits that come with a listed, thatched home.
