Wall Garden Cottage is a secluded Victorian detached house set in just over an acre of mature, lightly wooded gardens, a short walk from Lee Bay. The current layout provides sitting and dining rooms, two kitchens, two bedrooms and a wet room in the main house, plus two detached chalets previously used as overspill bedrooms. There is scope to extend or reconfigure the main dwelling and to make more of the chalets and outbuildings, subject to planning permission.
Practical details to note: the property has oil-fired heating, private drainage and an EPC rating of G. The granite walls are likely uninsulated, and the house shows typical period features and services that will need updating. There is a medium flood risk and no mobile signal on site, though broadband speeds are reported as fast.
Outside offers substantial value: detached garage with car port, several sheds (one with WC), ample off-street parking and a separately accessed Lot 2 car park (guide excess £30,000). The plot’s seclusion, woodland setting and glimpsed sea view in winter make it attractive for a family seeking privacy, or for someone wanting a small development or renovation project in a protected coastal village.
This property will suit buyers who value character and space and who are prepared to carry out improvements. Important constraints include private drainage, oil heating and likely insulation/upgrading work; planning enquiries are advised before committing to significant redevelopment.
