Set well back from the road behind mature hedging, this period semi-detached cottage combines traditional character with practical family living. The entrance through a large gated parking area leads into a hall, generous kitchen/diner, lounge, conservatory and a two-tier private garden — useful for children and vegetable growing alike. Three bedrooms plus an en suite provide flexible sleeping arrangements.
Built before 1900 in local granite, the property retains cottage charm — exposed beams and a pleasing façade — while offering modern comforts such as mains gas central heating, a gas boiler with radiators, and primarily UPVC doors and windows. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and the location is convenient for local shops, multiple well-rated schools and beaches within a mile.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the stone walls are likely uninsulated and secondary glazing is in place, so there is scope (and probably benefit) in adding insulation or further improving windows for comfort and energy efficiency. The house is freehold with a modest council tax band, no flood risk and low local crime, but buyers should expect period-property maintenance and potential refurbishment to tailor the home to modern standards.
For families seeking a character cottage near coast and schools, this offers privacy, parking and a sunny, split-level garden. Investors or renovators will also find clear potential to add value through energy upgrades and sympathetic modernisation.
