Gribbs Villa, Foxhole

If you’re searching for an affordable character cottage in a peaceful village setting, perfectly placed for exploring both the north and south coasts, this delightful end-terraced home could be exactly what you’re looking for. Full of period charm with beamed ceilings and exposed stone walls throughout, it also offers a versatile layout ready to adapt perfectly to your lifestyle.

Tucked away down a private lane, the property boasts two to three bedrooms, an appealing enclosed cottage garden with a summer house/home office and generous off-street parking — ideal if you need space for additional vehicles, a caravan, or boat.

Your entrance is through a bright, welcoming sun room overlooking the garden, a lovely spot to relax or enjoy morning sunshine, which leads into a cosy living room packed with character features including exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings, and a warming multi-fuel burner that makes it the perfect heart of the home. Continuing along the ground floor, you’ll find a well-proportioned country kitchen, a family bathroom with a separate shower, a versatile second reception room or utility space, and a store room or handy third bedroom/hobby space. The ground floor’s flexible design means it can easily be reconfigured to suit your changing needs, whether that’s working from home, accommodating family, or creating extra living space.

Upstairs, the character continues with two comfortable bedrooms, both showcasing beautiful exposed stone walls.

Outside, you’ll find practical space alongside a pretty cottage garden with mature planting and seating areas. There is a summer house with electricity, currently used as a home office and equally perfect as a studio, gym, or peaceful retreat, plus a useful lean-to storage area ideal for tools, bikes, or outdoor gear.

Parking is generous, with space for two further cars plus dedicated room for a caravan or boat.

This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a characterful home ready to move into and make your own.
