Waterside Nugget for sale after fifty happy years of ownership!
The property is named Chosen Cottage, as it is such a 'chosen place' beside the sea in a tranquil cove looking South to the Fastnet Rock. The cottage received an Environmental Award in 1995.
The property consists of two single storey buildings looking out to sea and sits on a triangle of land where the base of the triangle is the southerly boundary being high water level. The Eastern third of the triangle is a steep rock/cliff giving great protection from the Easterly winds whilst the Western boundary is a bank of trees giving protection from the West.
The original stone cottage has been restored to become a living-dining room added to which there is a bathroom, double bedroom and a further single bedroom/dressing room.
The main bedroom and bathroom suite are in a separate architect designed stone building a few yards to the South East of the original cottage and only yards from high water. The bedroom has a spectacular view looking directly south over the bay to the Fastnet Rock. The property's privacy is protected by strategic planting so as to make it completely private from the occasional visitors to the beach.
Other features include:
- The ownership of an Island (about a mile to the south of the property) of about three acres, which has become a sea bird sanctuary.
- Access to the property is via a freehold strip of land to be included in the sale.
- There is a swinging mooring within yards of the bedroom window and this with a delightful 120 year old Oyster boat may perhaps be included with the property if required.
- The mature small south facing garden is totally secluded and is easy to maintain whilst protecting the property from the elements.
