Set in the Old Leigh conservation area, Mulberry Cottage is a compact two-bedroom fisherman's cottage with direct estuary views from several rooms. The home retains period character—sash windows, exposed beams and an open chimney—paired with practical features such as double glazing, a gas boiler and off-street parking. Its small footprint and cosy layout will suit couples, small families or buyers seeking a seaside pied-à-terre.
The ground floor has a separate lounge and dining room, a kitchen opening to a sheltered rear garden and a useful outbuilding/utility. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a single bathroom, all arranged for straightforward everyday living. The rear garden is lawned with decking and patio steps, and benefits from wide views towards the estuary and beyond.
Important points to note: the cottage is modest in size at around 582 sq ft, and the cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so further insulation or energy upgrades may be desirable. The surrounding area is affluent and well served for amenities, but local recorded crime levels are above average; buyers should factor this into their location checks.
Overall this is a characterful, well-situated freehold home offering immediate coastal living and strong rental or weekend-retreat appeal. It will particularly reward buyers who appreciate period detail and estuary outlooks and who are prepared to carry out modest energy improvements to raise long-term comfort and efficiency.
