The Property

Set just outside Holywell Bay, Little Portion presents an enchanting one-bedroom cob cottage that has been lovingly renovated and extended. From the forget-me-not blue windows, red tin roof and thick cob walls, it is clear that every element has been thoughtfully curated to preserve the cottage’s historical character while introducing modern luxuries that enhance both style and comfort.

Stepping inside, you are welcomed by a stunning snug with a log burner, reclaimed flooring and exposed stone walls, all seamlessly leading into the open plan living/kitchen/dining room. Defined by vaulted ceilings, rustic timber panelling and a second log burner, this light-filled room opens onto a beautifully landscaped garden, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. A well-appointed utility area and a luxurious wet room, complete with a slipper bath and spacious double shower, complete the ground floor. Upstairs, the elegant double bedroom sits beneath a lofty beamed ceiling providing a tranquil and beautifully designed retreat that perfectly balances comfort and understated luxury.

 

Outside

Accessed via a pedestrian gate, a brick path leads you up to the cottage and a pretty patio garden framed by drifts of soft coastal planting. To the rear, the garden unfolds into a beautifully curated sanctuary, where a veranda creates an inviting covered terrace, a hot tub is tucked in the corner, complemented by a pergola nestled amid the lush planting. Here, a chiminea creates the perfect setting for cosy relaxed evenings after days spent exploring the coastline. A private parking space is conveniently located opposite the property, completing this idyllic coastal retreat.
