Exquisite white-washed cottage in beautiful coastal village; investment potential

Tucked away in a quiet side mews and located just a few hundred metres from the beach, this charming cottage has exceptional character and many outstanding features found in properties of this age. Constructed of stone in 1900 and benefitting from well-organised living accommodation and a generous exterior space, this lovely home must be viewed early to avoid disappointment. Typical of coastal cottages of this style, the property is accessed directly from the street. Beautifully designed and decorated, the interior is finished to a high standard in a cohesive palette of white walls with wooden floors, reflecting its heritage as a rural home but with a modern twist that retains all its character and charm. An above-average EPC rating of C and its 45 m2 also make this a cost-effective property.

The cosy sitting room has coved ceilings and a shelved alcove, which lends additional character. With polished flooring and good proportions, it is a graceful space with a lovely ambience. The kitchen is well laid out with a galley arrangement and has space for a small dining area. It has a fresh, modern feel amplified by the use of grey and white and has an easterly-facing view to the rear.

The delightful ground-floor bedrooms are the epitome of charm. Both rooms have good proportions and are light filled. The first, smaller room has a deep window ledge and is close to the entrance; given its location and outlook, it also offers potential as a convenient home office or remote working space. The second bedroom is to the rear of the house and offers a good amount of space for a double bed and dressing furniture.

The shower room is finished in white with grey flooring and has a curved shower enclosure, wash hand basin, vanity unit, and WC. Outside are two separate spaces, including one elevated terrace laid with gravel and paving that has a generously sized summer house and timber shed. These distinct areas are enclosed by stone walls and fencing. 9 Allan Lane is a delightful, beautifully decorated and much-loved property. Its cosy space is suited to a single person or couple, or it would make a delightful holiday home for a small family. Early viewing is recommended.
