Causeway, Beer

A truly historic three bedroom stone cottage set in the pretty fishing village of Beer with level walk to the sea front and local amenities. No onward chain.

The Property - 3 Causeway Cottages is welcomed to the market for the first time since the redevelopment of the Almhouses and former school during the 1980s by the current owner. The original Almhouses were built in 1820 of stone rubble with freestone dressings in a gothic style. These were kindly funded and donated by the Rolle family for the use of poor and infirm fishermen. The steeply pitched shaped tiled roof overhangs the main elevation and is supported by iron posts to form a picturesque veranda. The property has an arched doorway with nail-studded door and matching arched windows which add to the charm and the character of this delightful home.

Accommodation - To the ground floor are two reception rooms which both lead through to the kitchen. Both rooms feature window seats and look out over the pretty front garden. The kitchen has been fitted with a wide range of cream front wall and base units with space for appliances. To the first floor are three bedrooms (two doubles & one single) and a smart modern family bathroom with white suite.

Outside - The terrace is approached on foot via a stonewalled pathway with a step up to an enclosed front garden which has been beautifully planted with established shrubs for year round interest. There is a part paved and cobbled seating area, set beneath the veranda which makes the ideal spot for enjoying the evening sun. To the rear of the cottage is a covered walkway and small courtyard with steps leading up to a partially level seating area. The garden then continues to the top of the bank.
