HIDDEN FROM VIEW, YET SO CLOSE TO TOWN AND SEA FRONT!
A truly impressive 1800's DETACHED COTTAGE which has been restored to its former glory by the current owners. Located down a long passageway (therefore offering great privacy), the property is so convenient for town amenities, beautiful beaches and mainland passenger ferry links. Offering a blend of period charm and modern luxuries, the beautifully presented 2 storey accommodation comprises a charming sitting room (with log burner), separate dining room including designated 'study area', separate kitchen plus 2 DOUBLE BEDROOMS and a first floor bath/shower room. As well as the potential to re-instate a second/rear staircase, benefits include GAS CENTRAL HEATING, original timber floorboards and sash windows (plus secondary glazing) with added bonuses including SEA VIEWS, a secluded REAR COURTYARD garden, outside w.c. and garden sheds. This CHAIN FREE residence simply MUST BE SEEN to be appreciated.
