A substantial early 1800s Grade II listed Georgian cottage offering three bedrooms, generous proportions and mature landscaped gardens of approximately a quarter acre. The house retains many original features—sash windows, high ceilings and two period fireplaces—while secondary glazing and gas central heating provide improved comfort. Ample block-paved off-street parking and secluded “hidden” gardens add privacy and outdoor living potential.
The plot includes useful outbuildings: a stone-built shed and a summer house for storage or hobbies. The large garden and grounds also present development potential for an additional dwelling, subject to planning permission (STPP). Local amenities, schools, beaches and good transport links are all within easy reach.
Buyers should note material constraints linked to its listed status: alterations will be restricted and may be costly. The granite/whinstone walls are likely uninsulated, and the property has a single main bathroom. There is a medium flood risk for this postcode and the wider area is classified with relative deprivation, though local crime rates are low and digital connectivity is strong.
This home suits purchasers seeking a period property with scope to improve and personalise—families who value space and character, or investors exploring sensitive renovation or development (STPP). Expectations should be realistic about listed-building consents, potential retrofit costs and flood-related considerations.
