Greece Cottage, 1 Main Street, Heysham, LA3 2RW

This welcoming, Grade II Listed semi detached cosy and characterful cottage is nestled in the heart of the historic and quaint seaside village of Heysham. Tucked away off the main thoroughfare, the
setting is delightful, a peaceful retreat, and would be perfect for those seeking a coastal escape for rest, relaxation and sea air as the property gives direct access onto the beach. 

According to Historic England, along with the adjoining property it was built as Heysham Rectory in the 17th century, extended in the 18th century and sub-divided into two cottages in the 19th century.

In the same family for generations, this unique and quirky cottage has been much loved and enjoyed over the decades and whilst it has been updated in that time (with mod cons such as gas central
heating), it still retains exposed ceiling beams and feature stone walls which add enormous personality to the property. The front door opens straight into the sitting room which provides a warm welcome with the multi-fuel stove set onto a slate hearth and within a stone chimney breast. A cased opening leads into the split level dining kitchen with fitted cabinets and space to have your dining table and chairs. Also on the ground floor is a practical and useful shower/laundry room. Off the first floor landing there are two double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and the family bathroom with Jacuzzi bath. From one of the bedrooms are breathtaking panoramic sea views.
