Summary - THISTLEDOWN COTTAGE, COCKBURNSPATH, COVE TD13 5XD
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Charming coastal cottage with sea views and reserved parking.
Open sea views from elevated position
Thistledown Cottage is a compact, characterful two-bedroom semi in Cove, set above the harbour with open sea views. The ground floor provides a cosy sitting room with an open fireplace and a kitchen/dining area that opens through French doors to a private decked terrace — ideal for watching the coastline. Two double bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the first floor; one bedroom benefits from sea views. Double glazing is fitted and heating is by electric radiators.
The cottage is offered freehold and suited to someone seeking a low-maintenance permanent home, a downsizer wanting coastal life, or a holiday property. Reserved residents’ parking is provided in the adjacent public car park and Cove Harbour and the beach are a short five-minute walk via a footpath. Council tax is described as affordable and there is no flood risk.
Buyers should note material points: broadband speeds are very slow despite excellent mobile signal, the property appears to need some cosmetic updating and there is localized roof and render wear visible externally. The plot and gardens are small with limited planted beds and no large private garden. The sale includes most fitted floor coverings, curtains, light fittings, range cooker, fridge/freezer and dishwasher; the washing machine and tumble dryer are excluded.
Overall, the cottage offers genuine coastal charm and direct access to walking routes and beaches, balanced by modest floor area, small external space and some maintenance and connectivity limitations. It will suit buyers prioritising location and character over generous indoor/outdoor space.
