The Property

No. 3 is one of eight similarly styled cottages, built in the late 1800s to a standard design by The Corporation of Trinity House for Coastguard Stations across the UK. This charming house beautifully preserves its original features while showcasing decor that enhances its historic character. Highlights include exposed brickwork, polished floorboards, and double-glazed sash windows. An oil fired Rayburn serves as both a heating and cooking facility, complemented by a cosy wood-burning stove in the sitting room for added warmth. The well-appointed accommodation spans two floors, featuring an entrance lobby, a ground floor shower room, and a spacious sitting room and kitchen/diner that span the front and back of the home. Upstairs, you'll find three elegantly designed bedrooms: two doubles and one single, each offering comfort and style.
