Interior - Inside, the cottage offers plenty of living space to work with.

The kitchen is tucked to the rear, with a handy utility room and cloakroom beyond—perfect for sandy feet after a stroll on the beach!
Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms, the front of a generous size and the rear with views across the garden to the Solent. The bathroom is also located on the first floor, ready for a refresh to suit your style with with superb SEA VIEWS.
The home is in need of FULL RENOVATION, but there’s no denying the character and charm that’s waiting to shine through.
Exterior - Now this is where things get exciting! The long rear garden gently slopes down to the beach—yes, really—with direct access to the shoreline from your own back gate. Imagine morning coffees with a sea breeze or sunset strolls just seconds from your door. The garden is a lovely blank canvas, with room for patios, planting, or even a beach hut at the bottom- WORK IS REQUIRED TO CREATE THIS IDYLL.
A rare opportunity to bring new life to a seaside gem. If you’ve been dreaming of beachside living with potential to make it your own—this is the one.
Beach Access - Access to the beach is currently overgrown but was well maintained for over 50 years, so some work is required to cut back foliage and rediscover the pathway. The long garden leads down to a leafy woodland that is included within the properties boundary. This in turn leads to the quiet and relaxing Gurnard Beach which offers a wonderful opportunity with it's own beach access.
