Property description

This is a really lovely three bedroomed terraced 'seaside' cottage packed with charm and character within a few minutes walk of the centre of the popular coastal town of Exmouth.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
This is an opportunity to acquire a former coastguard's cottage which sits in an extremely attractive row of stone fronted terraced houses. The cottage has been enhanced by the current owner who installed six new double glazed windows in the latter part of 2013. A new shower suite, outside tap and new roof to the rear extension was also fitted in October 2014. This charming cottage is deceptively spacious and oozes warmth and character throughout. Estuary glimpses can be enjoyed from the first and second floor and an additional treat is the tranquil rear garden offering ample space for al fresco dining or just space in which to relax and enjoy the summer sun. This would be an ideal home for those seeking an idyllic coastal lifestyle or as an investment as a holiday let or tenancy agreement. A viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the size and nature of the accommodation provided and the lifestyle benefits this lovely cottage affords.
