Chapel Cottage is an early Victorian detached cottage near The Witterings, presented with elegant period detail and versatile living space across approximately 1,634 sq ft. The house’s standout interior features include a dramatic vaulted dining hall, a galleried landing and a triple-aspect sitting room with a log-burning stove, creating generous, characterful reception spaces ideal for relaxed family life or quiet retirement. The property sits in about 0.3 acres of established, landscaped gardens with a south-facing patio, secluded courtyard, pond and parking for several vehicles and a small boat.
Outbuildings add significant practical value: a detached double garage with remote roller doors and a large timber studio arranged as three rooms with power, light and water – useful as a home office, hobby space or lettable studio (subject to consents). The plot and layout offer scope for adaptation or further refurbishment while retaining much original character; the large grounds provide privacy and room for outdoor living.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. Heating is oil-fired, drainage is private, and broadband speeds in the area are described as very slow, which may affect those working from home. The Energy Performance Certificate is rated E and Council Tax is Band G (£3,876.05 for 2024/25). Overall this is a well-presented, spacious period cottage on a large plot, best suited to buyers seeking character, outdoor space and village-coastal proximity rather than a low-maintenance modern home.
