Very large overall size despite single bedroom configuration

This 17th‑century cottage offers unexpected scale inside a traditional Southgate terrace, with historic features and wide windows that flood rooms with light. Its standout asset is an extensive west‑facing garden enjoying views across Hornsea Mere — a rare private outdoor space for this location.
Internally the house is unusually large for a one‑bed layout, arranged over multiple floors with three reception rooms, a study and generous bedroom with dressing area and shower. Character details such as exposed beams, a cobble feature wall and multiple fireplaces give immediate charm and scope to create a comfortable, distinctive home.
The property requires renovation and cosmetic updating throughout; buyers should budget for works. The area shows above‑average crime and the neighbourhood is classed as relatively deprived, which may concern some purchasers. Practical benefits include mains gas heating, double glazing, freehold tenure, cheap council tax and vacant possession with no onward chain.
For a downsizer seeking lots of outside space, a period property to personalise, or a buyer wanting a large cottage with potential, this cottage represents strong scope. The layout and room sizes mean it can be adapted to suit modern living, but renovation costs and local area factors should be weighed into any offer.
