Description
A charming cottage offering period charm and classic comfort, in an idyllic waterside setting
The reception hall gives access to a sitting room where the warming ambience of a log-burner can be enjoyed, whilst on the opposite side of the hallway is a spacious living room with exposed beams and seating centred around a fireplace. This reception room has glazed sliding doors which connect to an extended living area comprising a conservatory adjoined by a dining room, both enjoying uninterrupted views across the rear garden. Fitted with modern, white cabinetry, topped with wooden work surfaces, the adjacent kitchen/breakfast room features an island unit with a breakfast bar. Ancillary space is provided by an adjoining utility room which offers a convenient storage area for domestic appliances and, with external access, a perfect place to cast-off and store outdoor wear after a water’s edge stroll. The downstairs accommodation is completed by a ground floor shower room and a separate cloakroom which can be accessed from the outside. Upstairs, the dual aspect principal bedroom benefits from elevated views over the Nature Reserve. There are three further bedrooms with one having access to an en suite cloakroom and there is also a well-appointed family bathroom on this level. A further stairway leads up to the attic room, which offers flexible-uses. With an attractive façade featuring stone and decorative brick elevations, Rose Cottage offers vintage charm with a layout providing versatility and relaxed comfort. Outside
Post and chain fencing marks the front boundary with decorative stone and gravel beds containing ornamental grasses. A paved driveway to the side provides parking and leads to the garage, which is adjoined by a workshop and store. The rear garden is tiered to accommodate the slope descending to the harbourside, with stone walls creating a partition. There are areas laid to lawn with features including a pond with timber boardwalk, pebbled edging and aquatic planting; shrubs and raised beds, timber pergolas and specimen trees. Paving adjoins the back of the house and a pathway provides a meander through the garden where far-reaching views of the coastal fringes can be enjoyed.
