Over 100 years old, the cottage showcases beautiful vintage wooden flooring and timeless details throughout, yet sits just a short stroll from the beach, pubs, and cafés.

Step inside and you’re greeted by a warm, characterful living space that instantly feels like home. Deep green velvet sofas, vintage-inspired wallpaper, and the impressive stone inglenook fireplace with a cast-iron wood burner sets the scene for cosy evenings after windswept walks along the beach. Enjoy movie nights with Sky Essentials and Netflix, or simply unwind by the fire with a glass of wine in hand.
