This stone-built cottage on Tower Hill sits a few minutes’ walk from Penarth’s promenade and cliff-top walks, offering rare seaside proximity with period character. The house presents roomy reception spaces, three double-capable bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen — comfortable for family life or weekend coastal living.
Traditional features are a strong draw: sash windows, exposed beams, timber floors and a working cast-iron fireplace provide charm and warmth. The rear courtyard is south‑west facing and low maintenance, giving private outdoor space without onerous gardening. Garage parking and freehold tenure add practical value for everyday use.
Buyers should note a few material points: the cottage dates from before 1900 and stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy-efficiency improvements (insulation, possible upgrades) would be advisable. Council tax is described as expensive. The plot is small — the courtyard garden is private but not large — and the wider local area record notes pockets of deprivation despite a nearby professional community.
Overall this is a character-filled, well-located cottage offering immediate enjoyment and clear scope for sympathetic improvement to enhance comfort and running costs. It will suit buyers prioritising location, period detail and manageable outdoor space rather than those seeking large gardens or a turnkey modern energy rating.
