Introduction
Available on the open market for only the second time since it was built for a retired Gorran Haven fisherman in approximately 1935, Oakroyd is a charming, detached bungalow occupying a surprisingly private setting just 160 yards from the beach and picturesque harbour. Set back from the road within a mature plot, the property enjoys an enviable combination of peace and convenience, with the village's amenities, beaches and coastal footpaths all just a short stroll away. Having provided successful holiday accommodation for many decades, the property now offers an exceptional opportunity either as a proven holiday investment retreat or as a delightful permanent home by the sea.

Description
The current owners have sympathetically upgraded the property during their ownership, including the installation of a stylish contemporary kitchen, an attractive modern shower room, modern electric radiators and new floor coverings throughout, whilst carefully retaining the cottage's original charm and character. Inside, a welcoming central hallway provides access to all principal rooms. The elegant sitting room occupies the front of the property and features a beautiful bay window which fills the room with natural ligh. A fireplace befitting of the 1930’s era adds a wonderful focal point to enjoy on winter evenings. The principal bedroom also benefits from a bay window overlooking the front garden and a featured cast iron fireplace.

The contemporary fitted kitchen combines modern cabinetry with retained original built-in cupboards, creating a practical yet characterful space with room for dining. The modern ans stylish shower room has likewise been thoughtfully refurbished to complement the property's traditional style. Character details remain throughout, including picture rails, and panelled internal doors, giving Oakroyd warmth and personality rarely found in modern homes. The property benefits from double glazing, electric heating and remains beautifully presented throughout, allowing an incoming purchaser to move straight in or continue its successful holiday letting business immediately.

The Gardens
Oakroyd occupies an attractive mature plot screened by established trees and shrubs, providing excellent privacy. The gardens strike an ideal balance between privacy, beauty and ease of maintenance.

To the front, generous lawns are complemented by ample off-road parking for two to three vehicles, a particularly valuable feature so close to the beach. Pedestrian steps lead down to Canton Street. The south facing rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with lawns, mature planting and a sheltered patio, creating peaceful spaces for relaxing, dining and entertaining throughout the day. A detached garden store / utility provides useful storage for gardening equipment, beach gear and outdoor furniture.
