Description
Cove Cottage is set in a wonderfully central yet tucked-away position within the village, just moments from the waterfront and local amenities. The private parking is a real advantage here, especially in such a sought-after location so close to the water.
The newly fitted hardwood double glazed stable door opens into a large and welcoming hallway, where a striking glass balustrade staircase sets the tone for the quality and contemporary finish found throughout. The cottage is arranged with a clever reverse-level layout, designed to take full advantage of the views, with both bedrooms positioned on the ground floor. Amtico flooring runs throughout, creating a seamless and refined finish, while newly fitted double glazed doors and windows enhance both comfort and appearance.
The principal bedroom is a luxurious and private retreat, complete with newly fitted built-in wardrobes, a top specification en-suite shower room with underfloor heating, and direct access to an enclosed sun terrace garden. Bedroom two is also a double room, benefitting from two windows and a good-sized built-in wardrobe. The ground floor is further served by an updated family bathroom with spa bath, while plumbing for a washer-dryer is conveniently positioned within a cupboard beneath the staircase.
Upstairs, the property opens into a superb living space where the sense of light, volume and luxury is immediately apparent. Doors lead directly onto a large south-facing sit-out balcony, finished with Millboard decking and enjoying breathtaking 180 degree views. A designer sun awning extends over the balcony, allowing the space to be enjoyed comfortably throughout the day. A designer Chilli Penguin log burner provides a stylish focal point within the room, complemented by a full wall framed feature mirror with smart LED lighting, cleverly reflecting the exceptional outlook back into the living space.
The kitchen and dining area is open plan and split level to the main living space, with two windows also taking in the spectacular 180 degree views. Completely remodelled by Susie Hammond Kitchens, it has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both storage and usability. Solid wood cabinetry, granite work surfaces and a range of built-in Neff, Smeg and Bosch appliances create a high-quality, timeless finish. A bespoke built-in dining table with storage benches and mirror over provides a particularly clever and elegant use of space.
The property is served by oil fired central heating, with designer radiators and smart Worcester boiler controls, combining efficient modern comfort with the cottage’s considered design and elevated specification.
Externally
Cove Cottage offers outside space on both levels, carefully designed to make the most of its sunny orientation and coastal setting. The principal bedroom opens onto an enclosed and private sun terrace garden, providing a quiet and sheltered retreat.
At first floor level, the south-facing sit-out balcony is finished with Millboard decking and fitted with a designer sun awning, creating a wonderful space for morning coffee, alfresco dining or simply enjoying the ever-changing outlook.
The Views
From the first floor living space and balcony, Cove Cottage enjoys exceptional 180 degree views. The reverse-level arrangement has been carefully considered to maximise this outlook, with the living room, kitchen and dining area all positioned to capture the scenery.
The balcony provides a superb vantage point, while the full wall mirror within the living area further enhances the sense of light, space and connection to the view.
Summary
A beautifully finished and cleverly arranged coastal cottage, Cove Cottage combines central village convenience, private parking, luxurious interiors and remarkable views. Equally suited as a refined coastal retreat, holiday home or permanent residence, viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the quality, position and rarity of this most appealing home.
