Rare Coastal Opportunity:- Unique 3 bedroom cottage, in a stunning location, now on the market for only the third time in the past 143 years. Set in Alum Bay, in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the property has views over Headon Warren, Tennyson Down and the famous Needles Lighthouse. This charming home is an ideal peaceful place for anyone seeking a country retreat with few neighbours and lovely walks on the doorstep. The cottage with its stone and brick elevations has an unusual appearance and individual feel. The accommodation will suit buyers who enjoy their own space, with the benefit of a separate annexe for additional accommodation when friends and relatives come to stay. The annexe could also provide an income source from holiday letting should a purchaser wish. The grounds of approx 3.2 acres have useful outbuildings and a nine hole Pitch & Putt course at present.
