Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a detached period cottage with origins dating back to the 17th Century. Originally the only farmstead along Sea Lane until the early 20th Century, the property has a long and interesting history and today forms part of a double-range home that has been carefully restored and improved over time. The house now offers spacious and well-presented accommodation, combining its original character with the comfort expected for modern living. Throughout the property there are many retained period features, including fireplaces, latch doors, exposed beams and leaded light windows, all of which reflect the age and character of the home. The property is set behind flint boundary walls and accessed via a traditional five-bar gate from Sea Lane, giving a good degree of privacy. The gardens extend mainly to the south and west, providing plenty of natural light and outdoor space. Within the garden there is also a historic water well with an electric pump, a reminder of the property’s agricultural past. A detached garage adds further practicality. Located within easy reach of the village shops and local amenities, this is a distinctive period home with genuine character and an interesting history.

This property is "Legally Prepared." Cooper Adams has gathered key documents, including the title, plans, property forms, warranties, and EPC. Buyers must request these before offering.
