Set in the coastal village of Hopeman, Rose Cottage is a traditional 1896 stone semi-detached home that mixes period character with practical modern touches. The lounge centres on a wood-burning stove and large rear window, while the kitchen offers integrated appliances and space for dining — a comfortable hub for everyday family life. A ground-floor double bedroom and Jack-and-Jill WC add flexibility for multigenerational living or guests.
Upstairs provides two further bedrooms with sloping ceilings and built-in concealed storage, plus a family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower — useful for busy households. The enclosed south-facing garden is divided between lawn and paved seating, with block-wall boundaries and a timber shed for external storage. Double glazing (including Velux windows) helps retain warmth and light throughout the cottage.
Important practical points: heating is by electric storage heaters, the property has a low EPC rating (F, 31), and broadband speeds are slow — factors that may affect running costs and home working. The cottage sits in a comfortable rural neighbourhood but in a wider very deprived area, which can influence local services and investment prospects. The house is freehold, offered at a modest price for the location and size, and will suit buyers who value coastal village life and are willing to manage higher energy costs or consider efficiency improvements.
Overall, Rose Cottage presents a character-filled coastal home with ready-to-live-in accommodation and scope for targeted improvements (energy efficiency upgrades, heating update, broadband solutions). It will particularly appeal to families or downsizers seeking a village base near beaches, local amenities and primary schooling.
