Property description

Delightful, well presented, semi-detached 3 bedroom cottage in a central position in the picturesque fishing village of Beer with parking and garage.

Location:
Beer is a highly sought after fishing village situated on the Jurassic Coast. A crystal clear brook runs down the main street to the pebble beach with its colourful fishing boats. The quaint village centre has various eateries, galleries, shops, gardens, primary school and local attraction 'Pecorama' with its steam trains. Close by are delightful coastal and country walks, including cliff-top walks to Seaton Hole and Branscombe.

Directions:
From our offices in Seaton turn right into Harbour Road and turn right on the roundabout to proceed up Castle Hill. Bear left onto Beer Road and follow this road for approximately 1.5 miles. Upon reaching the village of Beer, continue on the main access road. As the road bends sharply to the left, take a right into Causeway. 1 Rock Cottages will be found on the left hand side.

The Property:
1 Rock Cottages is a character 3 bedroom semi-detached house which has been home to the same family for a couple of generations and is now offered for sale by the current owners who have lived in the property for over 30 years. It is situated just off the centre of the village within easy walking distance of the shops and beach.The property has been updated and improved over the years and in 2013, a beautiful loft conversion was created which now provides a spacious master bedroom with exposed beams and a contemporary en-suite shower room with WC. At the same time, a new gas central heating boiler was installed and the family bathroom was refitted to include a separate shower enclosure and partially sunken, double ended, jacuzzi bath. There is a modern fitted kitchen and full uPVC double glazing throughout.A particular feature of the cottage is the lovely landscaped gardens to the rear which rise up in terraces above the cottage including a high decked area which enjoys the sun until late evening. The cottage also boasts a large garage and parking for 3/4 cars which is a real bonus in the centre of this village.The cottage is deceptively spacious and must be viewed internally to be fully appreciated.
