Summary - WOODBINE COTTAGE MAIN ROAD ALLONBY MARYPORT CA15 6QF
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Renovated seaside cottage with loft, sea views and immediate rental potential.
Panoramic uninterrupted sea views over the Solway Firth
This recently renovated two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage occupies an elevated coastal position in Allonby with strong uninterrupted views over the Solway Firth. The property combines period character—exposed roof beams and sandstone walls—with contemporary updates: a modern shaker-style kitchen, tiled bathroom and double glazing. Skylights in the converted attic flood the top floor with light and maximise the sea outlook. Gas central heating and a new finish throughout make it lettable immediately or comfortable as a small permanent home.
Key practical strengths are the panoramic coastal aspect, the loft conversion providing useful extra floor area, and the long driveway/frontage reported in some descriptions which increases curb presence and outside amenity. Running costs are likely favourable: low flood risk, mains gas heating and a very cheap council tax band. Nearby village facilities, good mobile signal and average broadband suit short-term holiday use or longer-term lettings.
Buyers should note a few material points before viewing. The property is an older build (pre-1900) with sandstone/limestone walls that are assumed uninsulated — additional insulation work may be required. The exposed coastal location increases ongoing maintenance and insurance considerations. Descriptions contain conflicting notes on garden size: some reports reference a substantial lawn and long drive, while others describe limited formal garden to the rear; prospective purchasers should verify boundaries and exact external space. Internal room sizes are small-to-average, typical of a cottage, so suitability depends on buyer expectations for living space.
Ideal for investors seeking a coastal holiday-let with immediate rental potential or first-time buyers wanting a character seaside home with modern ready-to-live-in finishes, this cottage rewards those who prioritise views and location over large internal floor area. Verify external boundaries, insulation status and insurance implications during due diligence.
