This charming 2-bedroom cottage with a private driveway is in a popular conservation area of town. It sits in an idyllic location, just a stone's throw from the historic quayside and a short walk to the High Street.

The kitchen and breakfast room overlook the 50ft-deep cottage-style garden. The garden includes a summerhouse equipped with electrics and storage, a separate shed for tools, and a greenhouse ideal for cultivating plants. There is also a small vegetable patch perfect for growing produce, and a pond stocked with fish. Both the patio by the house and the seating area by the pond are inviting spaces for al-fresco entertaining.

Since purchasing the cottage just a year ago, the current owners have worked hard to transform the character cottage into a charming home while retaining its period features. They have added a new Wren Kitchen and new doors throughout, including the front door. New wood-effect flooring has been installed in the kitchen and bathroom. The windows have been painted. The owners have invested heavily in transforming the garden into an enjoyable space. 

WHAT THE CURRENT OWNERS SAY ABOUT THEIR HOME....
The location near Quay, Promenade Park, and High Street drew us in. Inside, we appreciated the period character, which always impresses our visitors.

We access the property through the back garden, which is always green. In spring, Cherry and Apple trees bloom; in summer, Jasmine flowers appear; and in winter, holly displays its red berries.

Our favourite place in the garden is the summerhouse, which is connected to electricity and offers storage space. From here, we enjoy the views of the tranquil garden, especially the fish swimming in the pond. The summerhouse is a wonderful spot for relaxing in the sun, particularly in the early evening with a glass of wine.

Our bedroom is bright and airy, with views over St Mary's Church. The expanse of built-in wardrobes and the ensuite cloakroom are beneficial.

In the winter, the sitting room is warm and cosy. We have a picture on the wall, we hope the new owners will cherish as we can leave if in the house. It shows a local group of men who used to meet each day to 'chew the fat.' The men became known as 'The Shed Parliament.' It is said that two families once lived in the property, which was possibly built by the Church or the Lighthouse.

We are enjoying our new kitchen, it was only installed in April 2025. It comes with a guarantee, as does the appliances. The black oven and fridge/freezer set if off nicely.

Nearby major supermarkets enhance daily convenience.

There is a museum in the Park. At the top of the High Street is a Heritage Centre, which is well worth a visit, and the Moot Hall is very interesting.

Many artists who choose to live here and take advantage of the welcoming and friendly independent gallery.

There is always plenty to explore, and we enjoy the Salt Marsh walk and the East Coast path. Having three public houses within walking distance, and nearby restaurants serving Chinese, Italian, and Indian cuisine. We are very much spoilt for choice.'

The Promenade Park offers families a host of activities throughout the summer months.
