5 bedroom detached house for sale

This house was here before most of the village around it. Dating back to the 17th century, this detached cottage started life as the only farmstead along Sea Lane and still carries that history in the way it’s built and laid out. Over time it has been restored and updated, so it works as a home today without losing what makes it different. Inside, the original details are still part of the house, fireplaces, latch doors, exposed beams and leaded windows, all tied into a layout that gives you usable space. The property sits behind flint walls with access through a five bar gate, set back from Sea Lane. The gardens run mainly to the south and west, so they get consistent light through the day. There is also a working water well with an electric pump, a link back to how the house was first used. A detached garage adds practical space alongside the house. You’re within reach of the village shops and everyday amenities, but the setting still feels separate. If you want something with real history that hasn’t been stripped out or overdone, this is one to look at closely. This property is "Legally Prepared."
